What can a portrait tell us beyond appearances? On Saturday 7 November 2026, the MJC in Cavaillon hosts an art history lecture with Rosalind Archer. From depictions of deities and royal portraits to modern-day selfies, discover how the way we represent ourselves has evolved over the centuries.
A face, a pose, a gaze... And behind the image, a whole story waiting to be uncovered. From depictions of deities to official portraits of monarchs and dignitaries, the art of portraiture has continually evolved. Every period has developed its own conventions, its own ways of presenting identity and portraying the individual.
Join Rosalind Archer on a journey through the centuries to discover how portraits became a way of expressing social status, personality and one's place in society. State portraits, family portraits and famous artists' likenesses, right through to today's selfies: each image offers a glimpse into the evolution of our societies.
An opportunity to see works of art from a fresh perspective, examine their details and discover everything a portrait can reveal beyond a simple resemblance.
