The Lost Decoration of Historic Buildings
Tuesday 08 March 2022
Dr Jonathan Foyle Zoom Lecture at 5.00pm
Many of our greatest buildings appear completely different to the way their earliest audiences saw them. Much of their original effect depended on coloured or patterned surface exterior finishes, which have been lost due to changing fashions, or simply a lack of maintenance. This talk explores archaeological, documentary and visual evidence for rich decorations that, when reconstructed, transform our perceptions of how cathedrals, palaces and houses great and small once looked. Some examples can throw new light on how fashions spread across early modern Europe
Jonathan is quite obsessed by historic buildings. From an immersive career in conservation, research and curating, he is fortunate to have found ways to share many discoveries and insights into our ancestors’ experiences. He is an award-winning BBC broadcaster, and writes regularly for the Financial Times Weekend.

Cost per person: £10.00
