Friday 30 June, 3pm BST - "Robert Clive in British Portraiture”. This free, on-line talk will trace the history of representations of Robert Clive, one of British history’s most controversial figures. I’ll ask not just how, but why he has been represented in British portraiture from 1760 to the 20th century. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/robert-clive-in-british-portraiture-tickets-646669103697
