Romantics and Revolutionaries: Regency Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery, London

The period in British history known as the Regency (1790-1830) was marked by lavish, exuberant lifestyles and Romantic poetry and literature. It was also a time during which discovery, invention, rebellion, and war transformed nearly every aspect of life. An exhibition of more than 90 portraits, on loan from London's National Portrait Gallery, presents some of the best-known heroes and heroines of the Regency age. Among them are William Wordsworth; Lord Byron; Jane Austen; Lady Emma Hamilton and her lover, Admiral Lord Nelson; and the Regent himself, who later became King George IV.

The Romantic Print in the Age of Revolutions

A display of portrait, subject, and narrative prints, selected from the BAC's collections to complement Romantics and Revolutionaries, investigates such themes as the cult of the hero in the Romantic period; the relationship between literature and the visual arts; and the depiction of contemporary historical events like the American and French revolutions and the Napoleonic wars.
