“A Fashionable Likeness,” examines how portraits were used to capture the latest trends and styles of the time, particularly among the newly rich of the 18th century who sought to demonstrate their elevated status. With Sir Joshua Reynolds starting out in his native Plymouth, Thomas Beach his pupil down the road in Dorchester and a whole host of visiting major painters in Bath every season Crewkerne was surrounded by artistic talent at this time. Discussing this and other fascinating aspects Miles will reveal that there’s actually more to a portrait than a mere likeness.
