Hattie has a degree in History of Art and an MA in Historic Interiors, she has a life-long passion and fascination in Fine and Decorative Arts, particularly works produced in Europe from the 16th to 18th century. After working for the Royal Collection in the Print Room at Windsor Castle, she was a curator for a private collector of 17th and 18th century prints and drawings. Hattie has worked for London's foremost framer of important old master paintings during which time she sharpened her appreciation and understanding of the decorative arts and the changing tastes of collecting. Recently she has been dealing in prints and works of art as well as taking groups of all ages to museums and galleries.

Ms Hattie Bennett packs in a lot of insights, both religious and secular with this presentation. If you're like me, you will have 15 days to review this marvelous lecture through the 14-16th centuries of European religious art. Much to take in.
The discussion of Sacred Art of the National Gallery was beautifully presented both orally and visually by Hattie Bennett. I am more excited than ever before to go to the National Gallery to see these two dozen + pieces and have a deeper understanding of the importance of these works and the symbolism depicted by the artists of yore in each.
