A renowned artist will reveal secrets hidden in Renaissance paintings.

Robin Child, who headed a large art school at Marlborough College, will discuss the hidden aspects of nativity paintings, including Botticelli's Mystic Nativity.

Mr Child, who now runs a research studio in Budleigh Salterton, is recognised for his international lectures on art.

The talk is scheduled for December 5, at 7pm at the Church on the Green in Budleigh Salterton.

Entry is free, but due to limited space, it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
