Summary
This talk offers a virtual tour through London’s famous Wallace Collection, a splendidly rich and varied collection of fine and decorative arts assembled by the fourth Marquis of Hertford and his son Sir Richard Wallace. Often seen as London’s equivalent of the Frick Collection in New York and the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris, the Wallace Collection has its own unique and fascinating character.
