A Collector's Eye for Narrative Paintings
Grant Ford explains the subjects and stories behind many famous narrative paintings from the 19th century.
As reflected also in the great literature of the century, the art of the age often highlighted the divide between poverty and wealth and the emerging middle class, as the British Empire accelerated its influence and power throughout the world.
This illuminating talk will explain why these subjects act as such a timely historical record today. Grant will cover the important and colourful details of provenance, previous owners and exhibition history.
