Had a mooch around the Wallace Collection yesterday. Wasn’t terribly impressed as it is cluttered, badly lit and positioned. Seems like this was the traditonal way in which pictures were hung and all very 18th century ruling class…utterly bourgeois bad taste. It was one visual overload. Where’s the curator..?
Anyway, I saw an engraving of Hogarth’s Marriage A-la-Mode and that sorta made up for the disappointment.
