'Leighton's Paintings'
July 22 2016
Video: National Gallery
Here's a nice video from the National Gallery, looking at Lord Leighton's paintings in relation to the NG's new exhibition 'Painter's Paintings'. The video takes us inside the newly renovated Leighton House.
I think they should have let the presenter, scholar Christopher Newall, look down the lens - to make the video more personal. It's always good let these expert's passion come across more directly in films like this.
