Talk | London- Art History Reframed- The Great Cities of Europe at Triskel Arts Centre

Event Details

Dr Matthew Whyte covers London during a period of extraordinary expansion, industrial transformation and global influence. The largest city in Europe, it becomes a place where fog, smoke, commerce and empire reshape how people experience urban life. Artists such as J. M. W. Turner, John Constable and James McNeill Whistler respond to this environment by focusing on atmosphere, light and fleeting perception rather than fixed narrative. The city itself becomes a subject of modern visual experimentation. Musical references help situate London’s new identity.
