1814/1914: The Glorious Peace, The Great War

This lecture explores two extraordinary summers set apart by a century, the summer of 1814 when people were celebrating the end of the Napoleanic Wars and 1914 before the outbreak of the First World War. Alexander Rich talks about the work of British artists, from John Constable to Wyndham Lewis, and how they reflected the spirit of Britain at these times.
