Audio Art: Utterly in the picture is an audio-described exploration of Francisco de Goya's portrait The Duke of Wellington, held in Room 38 of the National Gallery and open to everyone. Led by Gallery Educator Katy Tarbard, it marks the start of UK Disability History Month and considers the different ways we experience and interpret art. A bespoke musical response composed by cellist Nina Plapp accompanies the session, inviting participants to encounter the painting through sound and close listening as well as sight. Created especially for blind and partially sighted visitors, it welcomes anyone interested in discovering paintings through a deeper, multi-sensory encounter.
