An informal, in-gallery talk about John Smith and the appeal of the mezzotint in 18th-century England

Join Andrea Morgan, curator of “He First Brought It to Perfection,” for an informal, in-gallery talk about John Smith and the appeal of the mezzotint in 18th-century England. Particular emphasis will be given to the fascinating back-and-forth between Smith and the notable portraitist, Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646–1723), as exemplified in a rare mezzotint portrait.
