7 - The Art of Alnwick Castle - with Waldemar Januszczak
The Alnwick Castle Podcast gets artistic this episode, as host Daniel is joined by Sunday Times art critic and documentarian Waldemar Januszczak to explore some of the highlights of the Castle's painting collection. Waldemar talks about the importance of artists like Canaletto, Van Dyck, Titian and Palma Vecchio, all of whom have works displayed in Alnwick Castle's State Rooms. We pay special attention to William Dobson, the 'lost genius of British art', whose self-portrait at Alnwick is one of Waldemar's favourite paintings.
You can see images of the artworks discussed in this episode on the Alnwick Castle Facebook and Instagram pages (find them @alnwickcastle and @alnwickcastleofficial respectively) or, of course, by visiting the Castle.
