A talk by Briony Llewellyn and Charles Newton.
Livestreamed from the Friends room at the Hellenic Centre 8 December 2021

In 1840, Lewis travelled through Greece and Albania on his way to Constantinople, and made numerous very striking watercolours of the people and places that he encountered. Charles Newton has pieced together the journey of John Frederick Lewis (1804-1876), and examines what inspired him to take the particular route that he followed. Briony Llewellyn will introduce Lewis, famed for the meticulous detail and jewel-like colours of his Orientalist paintings.
