“An Art History blog?” I hear you say, “but where’s the Instagramable plate of food?”
There are plenty of lifestyle blogs out there who are doing a great job already at reviewing and discussing restaurants and recipes. Don’t get me wrong, I love good food as much as the next person. 
My passion, however, is Art History. I did my undergrad in Art History at Warwick University and my Masters in Italian Renaissance at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Since, I have worked in the Art World and Cultural Travel sector and still find time to blog about art. I recently moved to Florence, Italy after 5 years in London and consider myself extremely fortunate to call this beautiful Renaissance city my home for now.
I appreciate that art can be a bit… boring, old, confusing or generally inaccessible. Or perhaps you find yourself looking and thinking, ‘why is that like that, what is going on?’. So in my efforts to shake off the dust a bit, here you will find a mix of gallery visits, exhibition reviews, discussions and observations about art that will hopefully make it come alive a bit more. A little heads up though – given my background the content focuses on, but is not limited to, Western European paintings and sculpture.
I am not claiming to know everything, nor am I stating that with this blog I will approach every facet of the art world, past and present. I just want to create a place for friendly discussion about Art History for anyone interested, whatever your background.
In a world of Instagram and Facebook, where images are being shared millions of times on a daily basis, History of Art is more relevant to our age than we realise.
Thanks for visiting and happy browsing,
Ellie
