In Search Of Classical Greece: Travel Drawings Of Edward Dodwell And Simone Pomardi
This exhibition will examine the journey that Dodwell and Pomardi embarked on in Greece in the age of Enlightenment, observing the motivation and circumstance of such travel as well as its cultural consequences. The exhibition will feature a selection of seventy highly finished watercolors, drawings in sepia and pen-and-ink sketches.
The subjects of the images within the exhibition range from beautiful rural landscapes, to the striking antiquities of Greece. Amongst the most impressive images are five vast panoramas, measuring up to four metres in length.
