The forgotten models who feature in iconic artworks will be explored at a talk in Lichfield.

Art historian and author Ruth Millington will be at Wade Street Church on 14th July to discuss her book, Muse, as part of the Lichfield Festival.

A spokesperson said:

> “Meet the unexpected, overlooked and forgotten models of art history – who was Picasso’s Weeping Woman? Why was Grace Jones covered in graffiti? How did Francis Bacon meet the burglar who became his muse?  
>  
> “Muse tells the true stories of the incredible muses who have inspired art history’s masterpieces.”  
>  
> Lichfield Festival spokesperson

Tickets are £12 and can be booked [online](https://thelittleboxoffice.com/lichfieldfestival/event/view/157341?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
