Overview

There is a black presence in many of the works in our national collections.
That presence takes many different forms; blacks are depicted as kings, as slaves, asservants, as saints and sometime just as people.
In the Black Presence Tours each piece is considered from two distinctviewpoints. First as work of art in its own right in the national collection, beginningby looking at its genre, its artist and their technique and how they together informthe composition. Then secondly revealing the black presence and what it meant atthe time the picture was painted. Each tour will be one hour thirty minutes.
There are Three Black Presence tours:
The Black Presence in the National gallery
The Black Presence in the Victoria & Albert Museum
The Black Presence in Tate britain
