Handel's Salon: The Ear of the Beholder
Handel’s Salon brings ideas and conversation into the rooms where Handel once lived, worked and entertained. Inspired by the gatherings and creative exchanges that filled his home, this series explores his world, his interests and his enduring legacy.
The Ear of the Beholder
In partnership with Classic Art London, Claire Davies, our lead curator, discusses newly published book, The Ear of the Beholder, with the author, Huon Mallalieu.
Huon’s book explores how artists have represented sound in paintings throughout time, from the literal depiction of musical instruments to the sights and sounds of landscapes. Claire and Huon will together look at Handel’s own art collection and how his favoured artists represented the sounds of the scenes they were painting.
