We will explore works such as the towering and iconic ‘St Paul’s Cathedral’, Hogarth’s social masterpiece ‘Marriage à la Mode’ and Chris Ofili’s Turner Prize winning ‘No Woman, No Cry’. Join us as we delve into ideas of medieval kingship and sainthood, social satire and commentary in Georgian England, the rich cultural tapestry of London from the 17th century to now and what really is ‘English’ art, anyway?
