About the Event

Forbes’s most famous painting was shown at the Royal Academy in 1885 and was one of the first major canvases of what was to become known as the Newlyn School.  Forbes’s working practice will be described and the generally accepted notion of the painting’s apparent realism will be challenged. This lecture is based on a dissertation which was short-listed for the Association of Art Historians’ Student Prize.
