Discover the captivating world of French art at the upcoming History of Art Research Seminar Series featuring esteemed speakers Frances Fowle and Michael Clarke. This thought-provoking lecture, chaired by Caroline McCaffrey-Howarth, will delve into the forgotten art of cataloguing, with a special focus on Edinburgh's remarkable collection of French paintings housed in the Scottish National Gallery.

During the seminar, Professors Clarke and Fowle will explore the intriguing history and methodologies behind cataloguing permanent museum collections. They will shed light on fascinating case studies, including the remarkable discovery of a previously unknown Van Gogh Self-Portrait. Provenance research, the history of collecting, and the intricacies of cataloguing will be among the topics examined during this engaging discussion.

This groundbreaking research led to the publication of a comprehensive two-volume catalogue, now available through the National Galleries of Scotland. Immerse yourself in the rich world of French art as you gain insights into the meticulous efforts involved in documenting and preserving these masterpieces.

Frances Fowle, Chair of Nineteenth-Century Art at the University of Edinburgh and Senior Curator of French Art at the National Galleries of Scotland, specializes in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Michael Clarke CBE, former Director of the Scottish National Gallery, brings his expertise and extensive experience in the field to this enlightening seminar.

Join us for this enlightening event, which will take place in the prestigious Hunter Lecture Theatre O.17, located at the Hunter Building in Edinburgh College of Art. Admission is free, and the seminar will be followed by a drinks reception in the Higgitt Gallery.

Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit. It is an important symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh. It is located on the top of the Castle Rock in Edinburgh. It is very obvious and can be seen from every corner of the city center. It is 120 meters above sea level and you can overlook the whole city of Edinburgh from above.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
