Event Navigation

Author James Cahill will be joined by Tim Knox, Director of the Royal Collection, for a conversation about Cahill’s acclaimed debut novel Tiepolo Blue – the story of an art historian’s downfall and mid-life awakening.
Cahill will introduce some of the inspirations behind this story of art, desire and disgrace in 1990s London – from Caravaggio to the ‘YBAs’ to Leighton House – before chatting with Knox about Tiepolo Blue and the art-world setting of his second novel, The Violet Hour (coming February 2025).
