Unfortunately the original lecture about Albrecht Durer cannot take place in January and we are having a different lecture. 

Richard Whinchop is a professional artist who graduated in English and Art History from York University in 1986. From 1988-1994 he lectured at the adult education departments of Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities, and then went on to become a full-time figurative artist, executing large-scale public commissions, and exhibiting widely throughout the UK. He now lives and works in Chichester, West Sussex.

Pomp, feast, and revelry" describes a scene of grand celebration, ceremony, and merrymaking, famously used by John Milton in his poem L'Allegro, contrasting lively joy with thoughtful melancholy, often featuring processions, banquets, music, masks, and pageantry, evoking a vibrant, almost magical atmosphere of festive abundance and spirited entertainment, common in both poetry and historical depictions of medieval or festive life.
