Summer Outing 2012
<\/strong>
The summer outing in 2012 was to the\u00a0Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It included a talk on the special exhibition\u00a0featured at that time: \u2018The English Prize: The Capture of the Westmorland, an Episode of the Grand\u00a0Tour\u2019. To quote the museum\u2019s\u00a0website, the story of the\u00a0Westmorland,\u00a0an armed merchant ship sailing from Livorno to London in January 1779, \u2018is one\u00a0of colourful 18th-century personalities and modern detective work\u2019.\u00a0

‘Consigned to the ship, by a cast of characters that included\u00a0artists, aristocrats and dealers, was a precious cargo of art and antiquities,\u00a0books, and luxury goods such as 32 wheels of Parmesan cheese. Captured by two\u00a0French warships … and declared a \u201cprize of war\u201d, the Westmorland and the goods on board were acquired by King Carlos III\u00a0of Spain who presented many of the works of art to the Real Academia de Bellas\u00a0Artes de San Fernando, Madrid. Other items were eventually scattered across\u00a0Spanish museums; one painting ended up as far away as St Petersburg\u00a0.\u00a0Reconstructed with archival discoveries and research in Spanish collections,\u00a0The English Prize presents 140 objects including paintings, drawings,\u00a0sculptures, books and maps from the fateful voyage, in a vivid recreation of\u00a0the Grand Tour and the high seas.\u2019

Robert Sutton reports:<\/em>\u00a0’18 members and guests enjoyed a very pleasant meal at the Pierre Victoire restaurant in Oxford before a visit to the Ashmolean Museum, including an introductory talk and a tour of the special exhibition. The latter gave a fascinating insight into the works of art and artefacts collected by sons of the English gentry on the Grand Tour, and also into the historical detective work involved in finding and researching them.\u00a0 Despite one or two minor administrative problems, this was a very interesting and enjoyable day out.’\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
