Join us for an artistic perspective on one of the 20th century’s most influential figures, Sir Winston Churchill. Escape the everyday and step into Winston’s captivating world, his beloved Chartwell House and Garden. Beyond the iconic political figure, Churchill was a passionate and prolific artist. This tour will explore his artistic side, with an expert talk on arrival and then examining his original paintings scattered throughout the house and studio. Our speaker will share insights into Churchill’s painting techniques and the personal stories behind his favorite pieces.
Chartwell isn’t just a historical home; it’s a journey into the mind of a leader who found solace, joy, and a different kind of purpose in art.
