Tip of the week - Christchurch Picture Gallery


Want to do something other than frantic boozing this 8th week? Do what I did and try out the Christchurch Picture Gallery if you haven't already. Sumptuous Italian and Flemish painting - highlights for me were the enigmatic allegory by Filippino Lippi, a haunting oil sketch by Van Dyck and a few paintings by the surprisingly modern-but-baroque Annibale Carracci. And the graphics on display at the moment are bloody brilliant. Above is a sneaky taster. GO!

Free for us students. It's in Christchurch's Canterbury Quad (through the entrance opposite Oriel).
