Zoffany Opens

I previewed the Royal Academy of Arts' exhibition Johan Zoffany RA: Society Observed in February (CLICK). Since then BBC News has posted an informative video about the show, which examines the paintings Zoffany made in India during the early days of the British Empire (title link). It's well worth a look, especially if you're thinking of lashing out £9 on the show. It opened today. Shown is Zoffany's Portrait of the Nawab Asuf ud Daula. His name was Johann, not Johan.
