How has power been projected, legitimised, and remembered across history? In this richly illustrated and highly engaging lecture, Nick Ross—Director of Art History Abroad—takes us on a sweeping journey from the raw authority of Genghis Khan, through the storytelling of the Bayeux Tapestry, Renaissance genius, the rise of diplomacy, and the splendour of early modern courts, to the visual language of power we still recognise today.
Renowned for his infectious enthusiasm and exceptional gift for making art history vivid and accessible, Nick brings together politics, culture, and human ambition in a talk that promises to be as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. An evening to be inspired, surprised, and enlightened.
