Lauriston Christmas lectures: Shadows of Winter

Winter landscapes were a challenge for artists working out of doors in the late nineteenth century, and some devised ingenious ways of keeping out the cold. Taking the art critic John Ruskin’s definition of a snowdrift as its starting point, this Dr Frances Fowle will focus on snow scenes by British and French ‘impressionists’ from Monet to McTaggart.
