The Arts Society Henfield: "Venice and the East"

Monday 10th November 2025 at 14:30–15:45

Presented by Antonia Gatward Cevizil, independent art historian.

Venice's unique position brought the city into contact with the different powers of the Eastern Mediterranean including the Byzantine Empire, the Mamluks and the Ottomans. This lecture explores the ways in which these interactions left their mark on the artistic heritage of the city as can be seen in Venetian architecture, painting and the decorative arts.
Antonia Gatward Cevizil is an independent art historian in both Italian Renaissance art and Ottoman art. Do join us. Annual membership £50pa, or guest visit £10. Refreshments from 2.00pm.
