Leslie Primo speaking at the lectern
Leslie Primo speaking at the lectern
John de Critz, Anne of Denmark Queen Consort of James VI and I. Dated 1605.
Such an interesting talk this afternoon @nationalgalleriesscot 🎨
Art historian Leslie Primo @artfirstprimo speaking about how foreign artists, like John de Critz, invented British art.
Different words belong to different times, in the 16th C they would have been termed 'strangers' not 'foreign'
So very sorry to hear this 💔
