“The Upton Treasures” talk will highlight the two men, Marcus and Walter Samuel, who were responsible for the collection and cover some of the most celebrated pieces of fine 17th century Dutch masters, Flemish tapestries, medieval religious art and 18th century porcelain. Masterpieces range from Bruegel and Guardi to Hogarth, Stubbs, El Greco and Bosch.
Tony Mawbey has been a volunteer house guide at Upton for over 10 years covering all aspects of the property but his speciality is the art collection. He has a second role visiting organisations giving talks about Upton and, hopefully, inspiring those who have never visited Upton to come and view one of the National Trust’s finest collections.
