A lecture on the Isle of Wight will uncover the earliest examples of prehistoric art.
Geri Parlby, an expert in art history, will take people through ancient history, sharing how art existed as far back as 400,000 years ago.
This challenges the long-held belief that art only emerged around 30,000 BC.
Among the artefacts is a Moroccan carved and painted figurine.

The lecture, on April 7 at Northwood House, will cover a range of prehistoric art, highlighting the innate skills of early humans.
These include sculptures and cave paintings, revealing a new perspective on our ancestors.
Parlby’s career trajectory reflects a deep engagement with media, film, and art.
From her beginnings as a news and investigative reporter for Mirror Group newspapers, she navigated the world of film publicity before transitioning her focus to art.
A retired journalist and film PR expert, she now shares her insights into the art world across the globe.
Visitor places for all lectures are available in-person or via Zoom for £10 each, requiring advance bookings on the Art Society's website.
