The Art of Christmas by Ed Williams
The Festive Season brings with it the familiar nativity scenes, winter landscapes and of course Father Christmas, but how did these images become synonymous with Christmas? This lecture takes the audience on a journey from the Medieval to the modern era explaining the development and important iconography of these Festive favourites. You may never look at a Christmas card in the same way ever again.
