Hilda Carline: The First Mrs. Stanley Spencer

Marriage to Stanley Spencer in 1925, gave her little opportunity to continue painting when most of her time was taken up in household duties as wife and mother with two daughters. It was only when their marriage collapsed and they finally separated, she was able to start again. Alan Read traces her career from early works to her later more mature paintings. Self Portrait 1923 and discusses the unique talents of this remarkable woman who captivated young Stanley Spencer.

Windsor Castle
Departing 10:00 am
The visit to Windsor Castle will include the State Apartments which are the grand sequence of rooms forming the centrepiece of the Castle. Charles II set out to rival the achievements of his cousin, Louis XIV, at Versailles in France. In the 17th century he modernised the Castle’s interiors, which became the grandest State Apartments in England, with painted ceilings by Antonio Verrio and carvings by Grinling Gibbons. They are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Holbein, Van Dyck and Rubens.
