SUMMARY:The Drawings of Samuel Buck in Lincolnshire in the context of the 1720s-40s. Professor Neil Christie.
DESCRIPTION:Professor Neil Christie, Professor of Medieval Archaeology with the University of Leicester, with research interests especially in late Roman to medieval archaeology and themes of urban and rural change, church archaeology and defence. Completed a PhD way back in the 1980s and became lecturer at Leicester in the 1990s, he also had spells in Rome and Oxford as postdoctoral fellow. An active fieldworker, having run projects in Italy, Spain and England – with a major project at Wallingford (Oxon) exploring the origins, evolution and archaeology of the late Saxon to late medieval townscape. \nSamuel Buck was a highly active artist in the 1720s-40s (supported by his engraver, business partner and brother Nathaniel), working both on drawings of stately homes, castles and ruinous abbeys and on ‘panoramas’ of towns across England and Wales. Not very highly regarded by modern art critics, the Bucks’ images nonetheless are highly valuable records of landscapes and townscape in transition – that from the late medieval to the early modern, with much of the medieval past soon to be demolished. This talk will explore some of the images generated in Lincolnshire and consider especially the archaeological and architectural contribution of the works of the Buck brothers.\nDoors open at 7pm at Broad Street Methodist Church, Spalding. Lecture starts 7.30pm. Entry £5, full time students free.\n
