The White Phoenix - King Charles I's Art Collection — Malmitalo, Helsinki

King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland was one of the most significant art collectors of his era, and his collection was among the most prestigious of the 17th century. The English Civil War scattered the collection, but after the Restoration, many works were recovered. Today, the collection's treasures can be seen at institutions including the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid.

Lecture series programme:
21.9. The spark of collecting and the most significant art acquisitions
28.9. Anthony van Dyck and other court artists and influential figures
5.10. The collection's fate during and after the English Civil War

Lecturer: FM Jaakko Hämäläinen. Free admission, no registration required.
