George Morland’s The Wreckers 1791 is our #MainHallMonday work. The title comes from those who salvaged cargo cast overboard by ships in times of distress, considered fair game or ‘God’s Goods’ by many in the 18th century. Image © SCC Cultural Services #SeaScape #RoyalAcademician
Here’s Nahem Shoa with his Giant Head of Gbenga, one of five of his giant head portraits in #FaceofBritain. Nahem always paints from life on principle, a technical challenge on this scale but one that helps him more closely engage with his sitter in turn. Images © Nahem Shoa
