No artist captured the elegance and energy of Regency Britain as successfully as Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830). Let one of Britain’s most brilliant portrait painters take you on a journey through this fascinating and visually splendid era, when Britain was pushing its way into the modern industrial world and fashions were at their most flattering.
