Aberystwyth u3a are happy to extend a welcome to members of other u3as for this live talk on Monday 16th May at 10:30am.
The topic will be how the Old Masters (and some not so old) painted Bridges. We’ll track the various art movements through the centuries beginning with the 17th (the High Renaissance and earlier weren’t much interested in bridges in seems) and thereby note the many ways it was possible to express a bridge in oils. This will make a welcome change from concentrating on a particular painter or art movement.
The talk is offered via Zoom. The link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86881998300
