Art in Context | Joshua Reynolds's portrait of Charles Stanhope and Marcus Richard Fitzroy Thomas

Victoria Hepburn discusses the recent identification of Marcus Richard Fitzroy Thomas as the previously unnamed boy in Reynolds’s portrait of Charles Stanhope, third Earl of Harrington. The Yale Center for British Art’s retitling of the painting marks the first time in its 240-year exhibition history that both sitters are named. This talk outlines current research into the life of Marcus Richard Fitzroy Thomas and explores how this new knowledge may bear upon an interpretation of the work.

William Hogarth's Topographies: A Series of Conversations

Topography is central to William Hogarth’s canonical progress series, in which London settings play a decisive narrative role. Lesser-known works by the artist, however, also engage with topographical representation. Pierre Von-Ow’s online exhibition “William Hogarth’s Topographies” considers the artist’s illustrations of national and colonized geographies beyond the metropole. Among international topographical views are Hogarth’s illustrations of Sápmi in the Scandinavian north, referred to at the time as “Lapland.”

The Yale Women’s Center Presents Our Annual Lecture Featuring Artist and Activist Carole Alden

Alden grew up primarily in the western United States with a year in New Zealand. She is an entirely self taught artist with no formal training. At the age of 46, a career criminal, who preyed upon women for money, insinuated himself into her life and began a campaign of systematic, escalating terror. After 7 months of inept local law enforcement involvement, Ms Alden was forced to defend herself and her children with deadly force. Thirteen years into a fifteen sentence, the Utah state legislature completed a sentencing audit and ordered her immediate release.
