Batoni and his English Patrons

Lecture at the National Gallery on their current Batoni Pompeo exhibition by Francis Russell, Deputy Chairman of Christie’s UK.

Visually this was a good talk with excellent slides but I did found the content wandered a bit and seemed to end up as a list of sitter’s names and names of art historians in this field. I had hoped to add to my knowledge of this artist but I got little from this which I didn’t get from the exhibition or the previous week’s study morning.
