Madeleine Love
Madeleine Love is an art historian and artist, passionate about the origins of painting and the art of ancient fresco. She specializes in tracing the evolution of fresco within the Mediterranean from early to late antiquity. As an artist, her practice is concerned with the exploration of technique and materials used by ancient and pre historic cultures, which informs her research and insight into iconic moments of culture and art history.
Madeleine also holds expertise around the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting movements in Provence, by artists such as Cézanne and Van Gogh in the cities of Aix-en-Provence and Arles.
Context never disappoints. Madeline Love was a fantastic guide. She was equally informative and enthusiastic about the history of Roman Arles and about the life and work of Van Gogh. Things she told us about Roman Arles meshed with what we learned on our Context tours in Rome. She made our trip a much richer experience. We recommend Madeleine Love highly!
Fantastic tour by Madeline !! So energetic and knowledgeable, you can really appreciate her vast knowledge of art and culture. She engaged my 20 yo daughter by blending pop culture and history!! She also gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants and local museums. Highly recommend. We found context tours on the web and really appreciated their communication and promptness.
Madeleine was wonderful. She was extremely well prepared, provided great background and history while also providing great insight into Van Gogh and his life in Arles. A wonderful morning.
