@byjacklynn: This is the most epic painting I’ve seen in a while! The near life size painting depicts the anti-slavery society convention of 1840, by Benjamin Robert Hayden, hanging in the National portrait gallery in London. It prominently features Henry Beckford, Samuel Jackman Prescod and Jean-Baptise Symphor Linstant de Pradine. In the distance women sit allowed to be present but not have a voice. #arthistory #britishhistory #painting #nationalportraitgallery
it’s a brilliant format for a depiction of who had power and the ability to be heard

History by Jacklynn :
Did you know that some of the members complained about Henry beckford being front and center in the painting? They believed he should be placed ‘somewhere in the back’ - this understandably shocked

It's like a great battle for justice, with the wider war still lurking in the background. Conflicted feels like the appropriate response

I was just looking at this painting last week at the Portrait Gallery. I’ve never seen it either. I found it very insightful.
