The History of the Tree in Art: from Giotto to Klimt
Clare Ford-Wille
Throughout the history of European art, the tree has been of great importance as a punctuation mark within a composition, to create perspective, to draw attention, to offer a framework or to give meaning to the subject of the painting or sculpture. Dead or broken trees can symbolise death, a living tree in contrast can indicate everlasting life or resurrection, and in the Garden of Eden the Tree of Knowledge is crucial to the Fall of Adam and Eve. The study day will explore the myriad of ways in which artists and sculptors use trees in their work.
