Welcome to Hell! 🔥
This week, we chose to shiver with fear. With this special playlist for Halloween, Art Explora Academy offers you a ride in hell! Discover how artists have sought to represent death and let Bosch’s demons give a glimpse into the afterlife…
What does the goldfinch symbolise? And what do birds have to do with death? Ed Dickenson from our Learning team explains some of the lost or forgotten meanings in our paintings.
