# 65  - about the exhibition Stanisław Wyspiański: Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in London In conversations with Alison Smith - curator of the display, previously Chief Curator of the National Portrait Gallery, London and currently Director of Collections and Research at the Wallace Collection. Stanisław Wyspiański (1869-1907) was a Polish painter, designer, poet and originator of modern Polish Theater. He was also a key figure of the Młoda Polska (Young Poland) art movement that helped keep national identity alive during Poland's partitions. This podcast episode offers a glimpse into the unique pastel works of Wyspiański, featuring stories of his sitters—including members of the Cracovian intelligentsia—his family, and the artist himself, as well as his decade-long struggle with an illness that profoundly shaped his life and creative output. The one-room display, showing 16 of Wyspiański's pastel portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in London is free and open to all till the 13th of July 2025.  References: About the Exhibition: https://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/display/2025/stanislaw-wyspianski-portraits Exhibition Catalogue: https://npgshop.org.uk/collections/books/products/stanislaw-wyspianski-portraits-hardcover-catalogue ___ This episode was created for Contemporary LYNX and with support of the Polish Cultural Institute London.

The celebrated artist, Sir Grayson Perry, has a new exhibition of work, Delusions of Grandeur, made in direct response to the masterpieces at the Wallace Collection in London (until 26th October). He candidly admits he initially found the Collection's opulence difficult to work with, until he created an alter-ego artist, Shirley, who was inspired by the aesthetic.In recent years museums and art galleries have become a regular battleground in the culture wars. One of today's anti-woke warriors is the writer Lionel Shriver. Her latest satirical novel, Mania, imagines a world where intellectual meritocracy is heresy; the words 'stupid' and 'smart' are no longer acceptable, and novels like The Idiot and My Brilliant Friend are banned.In Shriver's imaginative world language and thought is heavily policed, speech is free only if it doesn't offend. The academic Fara Dabhoiwala has written about the emergence of this contested idea, in What Is Free Speech? He shows in the shifting story of the last three hundred years that freedom of speech is not an absolute from which different societies have drifted or dissented, but a much more mercurial, complicated matter.Producer: Katy Hickman

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, historian and author Katherine Carter offers a fascinating look into her new book, Churchill’s Citadel, which examines Winston Churchill’s pivotal “wilderness years” of the 1930s. Katherine shares her lifelong passion for history and her journey to becoming Chartwell's curator, diving into how this beloved Kent home became Churchill's personal headquarters for intelligence gathering and diplomacy. She reveals the unique domestic life at Chartwell, with its lively gatherings, memorable overnight guests like T.E. Lawrence, and Churchill's meticulous attention to detail—even down to the design of the dining chairs. The discussion explores Churchill's resilience and isolation as he warned of the Nazi threat, Clementine Churchill’s critical role in managing their household and finances, and the support of staff who endured Churchill's famously rigorous schedule. Katherine also touches on the financial ups and downs that marked the Churchills' lives, their strategic return to Chartwell after WWII, and the special steps taken to protect the home during the war. Finally, she hints at an exciting upcoming art exhibition at the Wallace Collection that will showcase Churchill's work as a painter, bringing new depth to this extraordinary leader's life.

Sound Bites On Churchill’s early inspiration: “The 1930s are just as, if not possibly even more important [than WWII] because it's so much harder fighting for a cause when you are a lone voice… Churchill really was going out on a limb declaring that war was inevitable and we should be preparing for it.” Chartwell as Churchill’s strategic hub: “Chartwell becomes like his own branch of the Foreign Office out in Kent… they chose the 1930s as the period to immortalize, recognizing that as its moment of greatest historic significance.” The significance of the visitor's book: “There's over 750 signatories from the 40 years the Churchills lived there… I wanted to interrogate everyone who came, whether they were a dine, wine, and dined guest or someone just quickly running in for the afternoon with a brown envelope of intelligence.” On Churchill's unique social diplomacy: “Dinner at Chartwell… you’d have fine cuisine, excellent champagne, and discussion until midnight. Churchill would either be gleaning insights from you or trying to persuade you to his way of thinking.” Chartwell’s intimate charm: “It's not a grand house. There are grander houses in England… but it's a microcosm of everything he required. It feels very intimate, like you’re walking around in Churchill’s head.” On Churchill’s resilience and purpose: “His courage to remain true to what he thought was right is truly inspirational… even with the political pressure and fear of war, Churchill held firm to his beliefs.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Katherine Carter and Churchill’s Citadel 03:07 Katherine’s Journey into History and Churchill 05:57 The Significance of the 1930s in Churchill’s Life 09:08 Chartwell: The Heart of Churchill’s Diplomacy 11:49 The Abdication Crisis and Chartwell’s Role 15:04 Notable Visitors and Their Impact on Churchill 17:46 Domestic Life at Chartwell: Balancing Diplomacy and Family 21:05 The Challenges of Writing and Researching Churchill’s Life 24:02 Clementine Churchill: The Backbone of Chartwell 26:58 Chartwell as Churchill’s Ideal Domain 30:08 The Financial Struggles of the Churchills 32:57 Churchill’s Connection to Chartwell During WWII 36:14 Lessons from Churchill’s Resilience 39:07 The Upcoming Churchill Art Exhibition 42:10 Fun Questions: Churchill’s Favorite Memories and Quotes

Enlightenment publications on human anatomy changed the way artists understood their place in the world. Check out these examples of life-changing images brought to you by prints in books!   In s2e31 of Platemark's History of Prints series, Tru and Ann continue their discussion of the Enlightenment. This time they look at several publications that put forward new discoveries about human anatomy: William Hunter's The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus, Bernhard Siegfried Albinus' Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani, and Jacques Fabien Gautier d'Agoty's Myologie complette en couleur et grandeur naturelle. They conclude with Denis Diderot's Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, a 17-volume tome that attempted to define and codify all of human knowledge.   At the end of the episode, Ann and Tru wax philosophical about how incredible this blossoming of human knowledge is, and how talking about it makes each of them think about our place as humans on the planet.

ロンドンの美術館The Wallace Collectionに行きました。めいっ子と行きました。めいは16才です。美術館にピンクの部屋がありました。かわいかったです。 美術館にフランスの絵がありました。フランスの古い時計やティーカップもありました。ピンクの部屋に女の子の絵がありました。めいっ子はその絵を見たことがあると言いました。映画の「アナと雪の女王 Frozen」で見たと言いました。私はYouTubeを見ました。本当に同じ絵が出てきました。 私はディズニー映画には興味がないし、「アナ雪」も見た  ことがありませんでした。めいっ子はアナ雪が大好きで映画の中の歌も覚えています。アナ雪の歌のシーンには世界の有名な絵をモデルにしたアニメーションがたくさん出てくることを、私は初めて知りました。ウォレス・コレクションにある女の子の絵「ぶらんこThe Swing」が出てくるのは「生まれて初めて」という歌のシーンの背景です。絵が見えるのはほんの一瞬です。子どもの記憶力はすごいですね。映画が見たくなりました。 I went to a museum in London, The Wallace Collection.

There was a picture of a girl in the pink room. My niece said she had seen that picture. She said she had seen it in the film 'Anna and the Snow Queen Frozen'. I looked on YouTube. It was really the same picture. I am not interested in Disney films and have never seen Frozen. My niece loves Frozen and remembers the songs from the film. I first learnt that many of the scenes in the Frozen song were modelled on famous paintings from around the world. The picture of the girl in the Wallace Collection, 'Blanko The Swing', appears in the background of the song scene 'For the First Time in My Life'. The picture is only visible for a brief moment. Children have an amazing memory. I now want to see the film.

This painting is the last of six paintings that make up Titian's extraordinary “Poesie” series for King Philip II of Spain. Of all six, it is in the worst state of conservation and went through major compositional changes while it was being painted. Nevertheless, the “Perseus and Andromeda” is an important work of beauty, innovation, and visual interpretation of a classical literary source.

Synopsis Today we offer a special “Gong Show” edition of the Composer's Datebook. On today's date in 1791, at the height of the French Revolution, the Panthéon in Paris was converted into a mausoleum for national heroes, and the first to be interred there, with great pomp and ceremony, was Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Comte de Mirabeau, a tremendously popular personage of the day. For dramatic effect during the Count's funeral procession through the streets of Paris, French composer François Joseph Gossec added an unusual percussion instrument to his funereal wind band: an exotic instrument someone had brought to Paris from the Far East, and known as—you guessed it—the gong. It was reported that whenever the gong was struck during Mirabeau's funeral procession, cries of terror and fright were heard from the crowd that lined the Parisian streets as the cortège passed. Now terror and fright are bread and butter in the world of grand opera, and so the gong soon was adopted by 19th century composers like Spontini, Meyerbeer, and Wagner, and, in the 20th century, composers like Puccini, Stravinsky, Stockhausen, and George Crumb have also used gongs to—pardon the pun—striking effect!

Today I'm so happy to be talking to Karly Allen about her work. We're talking about how mindfulness can help us to connect with and engage with art, how we can bring mindfulness practices to the experience of drawing.  Karly Allen is a UK-based gallery educator, drawing tutor and mindfulness teacher. She has worked for the National Gallery, London, over the past 20 years and has taught widely for UK art collections including the National Portrait Gallery, Wallace Collection and Royal Collection. In 2018, Karly co-foundedhttps://www.liminacollective.com/ ( Limina Collective) to bring mindfulness and reflection practices to museum and online spaces.   We explore how mindfulness and meditation practices, observation of the artwork and drawing interrelate with each other. And how drawing with mindfulness creates connections, opens us up to creativity and helps us to overcome any resistance we might have to drawing or the fear of the blank page. We talk extensively about the benefits and how it help us to tune into a mode of being being open, letting go of preconceptions and habitual patterns of looking.  Links Masterclass: Mona Lisa - Experiments in Drawing with Mindfulness Tuesday 19 July at 17.00 hrs CET This masterclass offers an experimental space to explore drawing and mindfulness, with Leonardo's iconic painting as our focus.
