Upton House & Compton Verney, 糖心TVshire
糖心TV Renaissance Society Field Trip, Thursday 12th June 2025
THIS OUTING IS NOW FULLY BOOKED, LITERALLY, SINCE JUST SENDING ROUND A NOTICE (SORRY!)
Please join us on Thursday 12th June 2025 for a visit to and , two world-renowned collections of early modern art in our local area. Limited availability left.
On our second field trip, we will discover the artworks of Upton House and Compton Verney. Assembled by the second Viscount Bearsted during the 20th century, the collection at Upton House includes Old Master and British pictures (e.g. Stubbs, Bosch, Canaletto), while Compton Verney houses sculpture and painting from the 15th century up to the present day (e.g. Baroque Neapolitan painting, newly displayed Two Women Wearing Cosmetic Patches, c.1655).
There are no costs involved for this outing, but you do need to bring your own lunch or be prepared to buy something at one of the venues (which is probably quite expensive 馃馃檭).
