Excellent talk on lost natural history painters from 18th C India by @DAGworld (@andrewjohnrudd @Comet_Moth_HM @SAsia_exeter). Including fascinating stories behind artists' signatures and labels. This has been a very good month for highlighting marginal/erased names from art.

The booklet is truly beautiful (even as an e-copy), and had wonderful stories about Mark Catesby's art. The link is here: https://t.co/1xFW9Hu8Q7
