Painting Through the Pandemic
How does an artist of London cityscapes deal with the Covid-age reality of an empty city?
In a recent interview, painter Michael Alford talks about his art, the challenges he’s faced during lockdown, and how creativity is his secret weapon when it comes to surviving any crisis.
More About the Muses
This image was adapted by Michael Alford from Portraits in the Characters of the Muses in the Temple of Apollo by Richard Samuel, 1778. Samuel’s painting shows leading female artists of the time posing as muses in their respective fields. The sitters were: Elizabeth Carter, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Hannah More, Catharine Macaula, Elizabeth Montagu, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Griffith, Elizabeth Ann Linley and Charlotte Lennox.
