Mangled Bodies
In spring 1777 John Adams started a letter to his wife, Abigail, by quoting his barber, whom he liked to cite ‘as often as ever I did any Authority’.

Art historians and historians have studied individual moments in the pre-history of the National Gallery, yet a case remains to be made for a coherent if piecemeal development in British artistic culture towards the formation of a National Gallery. This essay seeks to provide elements for that case from the perspective of the i…
