We are delighted to welcome back Dr Lydia Goodson as she returns for two lectures this term focussing on Italian Renaissance in Art in our London Museums, the V&A and the National Gallery.

Discover Renaissance on your doorstep in this first lecture exploring works in the V&A.

Generations of British collectors brought the art of the Italian Renaissance home with them and by going no further than London, you can enjoy unrivalled paintings and sculpture by some of the superstars of art history.

Dr Lydia Goodson is an art historian specialising in the Italian Renaissance, and a former Tonbridge parent. Lydia teaches for the V&A Academy, is an Art History Tutor at CityLIt, an accredited Arts Society lecturer, and a visiting lecturer for The Warburg Institute.
