Royal Academy – Tap into Anne Desmet RA’s artistic process
Anne Desmet RA: engraving angels
From all of us at the RA, thank you for your patience and your continued support as we take the slow steps back to normal. We are so thankful for our loyal Friends.
We know that not everyone can return to our galleries just yet, which is why we’re continuing to share the very best art and inspiration for you to enjoy at home.
This week, follow along with Anne Desmet RA’s week-by-week video journal as she shares the progress of her latest wood engraving, Angel Tower.
Inspired by her mother, the resilience of the human spirit and Florence Nightingale, watch how Desmet imbues her detailed prints with the unique spirit of this singular moment in time.
