The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art is running a public lecture series entitled 'Georgian Provocations' this summer. All lectures are presented online and are available to watch on YouTube.
Tomorrow's lecture (4th June) will be delivered by scholar Martin Postle on landscape painter Richard Wilson's The White Monk, a classical landscape which the artist painted many times with a multitude of compositional variations. The image above is the version in the Cobbe Collection, which has a rather good website with beautiful images to peruse by the way.
Mark Hallett's lecture on Hogarth's The Four Times of Day is available to watch on the PMC's YouTube channel.
