Bendor Grosvenor: The Arts Society Cumbria 50th Anniversary Lecture

Art historian and broadcaster Dr Bendor Grosvenor explores how the dramatic scenery of the Lake District was one of the secret ingredients behind
the emergence of British landscape painting in the 18th and 19th centuries. His new book is a frank reassessment of the history of British art that
reveals how the art of this country has been created, what made it distinctive and why it took so long to emerge.
