Art Talk and Wine at the Library (free)

The talk by Dr. Mark Sagona will highlight the recently-identified extraordinary works in Maltese collections coming from the immediate circle of the great Gothic Revival architect and designer A.W.N. Pugin ( Protected content ), produced by his significant collaborator John Hardman ( Protected content ) of Birmingham. The discussion will place the works – the only authentic Gothic Revival artifacts on the island – within their own immediate context and also within the scenario of the gradual appearance of Gothic Revival currents on the Decorative Arts in nineteenth-century Malta
