ART-lovers have a chance to find out more about one of the leading French 18th Century artists on Friday.
Expert Humphrey Wine, from the National Gallery, in London, will be in York to give a free lecture on Pierre Subleyras at the Yorkshire Museum's Tempest Anderson Hall.
Pierre Subleyras was born in France in 1699 and is known for his many portraits and religious pictures, including Diana and Endymion, which was recently acquired by the National Gallery.
He was a contemporary of Scottish artist Allan Ramsay, whose portrait of Jean Abercromby, Mrs Morison of Haddo, was acquired by York Museums Trust this year, for £625,000, using grants and donations.
The lecture is part of a series organised by the trust to celebrate the arrival of the portrait at York Art Gallery.
Admission to the lecture at 7.30pm is free. Places must be booked, call (01904) 687687.
