SUMMARY:Spitalfields: From Huguenots to Hipsters
DESCRIPTION:Brushfield Street\, Spitalfields \nLondon is a city of constant change and nowhere is this better illustrated than in the history of Spitalfields. Formerly the fashionable home of Spanish ambassadors to the English Courts of the 16th and 17th centuries\, its first major development was courtesy of the Huguenots fleeing the religious persecution of Protestants in France in the late 17th century. They laid out a grand estate of well-appointed terraces designed specifically for their trade and “Weaver Town” was born and prospered. \nSpitalfields became the landing point for various waves of 19th century migrants and became one of London’s notorious “rookeries” characterised by overcrowding and poverty. Then came the hipsters. Attracted by relatively cheap rents\, “edgy” bars and restaurants started to move in. Independent retailerssoon followed; former industrial premises were re-purposed as event\, pop-up\, and creative spaces; and the entrepreneurs of the new digital economies moved in. “Hipster Town” was born. \nJoin Mark Rowland to hear the fascinating stories of Spitalfields that tell of hange\, adaptation\, decline and regeneration. \nLIVE\nTuesday\, May 11 | 2:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 members and $40 non-members \nRENT\nFrom Thursday\, May 12 to Wednesday\, May 18\nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 members and $40 non-members

SUMMARY:Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts
DESCRIPTION:Pink castles\, talking sofas\, and a prince transformed into a teapot: what sounds like fantasies from the pioneering animation of the Walt Disney Animation Studios were in fact the realities from the colorful salons of Rococo Paris. Join Royal Oak and Friends of the Louvre as Wolf Burchard\, Associate Curator in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, will give a virtual tour of the museum’s first-ever exhibition this past Spring that explored the work of Walt Disney and the hand-drawn animation of the Walt Disney Animation Studios. If you missed it at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the show\, Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts\, is on view at the Wallace Collection\, London from April 6\, 2022 – October 16\, 2022. \nThe exhibition examines Disney’s personal fascination with European art and French visual culture. Dr.Burchard will explain the use of French art and architectural motifs in Disney’s films\, and draw parallels between the studios’ magical creations and their artistic models. Focusing on three French fairytales retold by Disney in animation (Cinderella\, 1950; Sleeping Beauty\, 1959; and Beauty and the Beast\, 1991) Burchard will discuss tapestries\, furniture\, Boulle clocks and Sèvres porcelain and compare them to production artworks and designs from the collection of the Walt Disney Archives and Walt Disney Family Museum. \n\nLIVE\nTuesday\, May 17 | 5:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 ROF and American Friends of the Louvre members and $40 non-members \n\nRENT\nFrom Wednesday\, May 18 to Wednesday\, May 25 \nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 ROF and American Friends of the Louvre members and $40 non-members
