2002 is the bi-centenary of the death of George Romney, one of eighteenth-century Britain's greatest portrait painters. Best known for his society portraits including his famous studies of Emma Hamilton, mistress of Admiral Lord Nelson, this is the first comprehensive exhibition of Romney's work. Aiming to end two centuries of neglect and misrepresentation, it reveals Romney as an innovative artist who experimented and developed new styles throughout his career.
