[quote=Anonymous]Yes, agree with the PP.

And, responding to the PP that posted pics of the interiors.  It looks very grand, but, still, I think most of that is kind of crap in the larger art world sense.  I mean, there were a couple of decent 18th century/early 19th century portrait painters, and then scores of yeoman painters who were basically the Sears Portrait studio of their day for the upper crust.  So everyone got their portrait done by some schmuck who wasn't Reynolds, and they all got hung up on the wall somewhere.  There's an awful lot of wall space to fill.  I don't find it surprising that they wouldn't know every person and every painter.  They knew the one good one (and, if you remember from previous seasons, there was one even better one that they sold off).  I liked how Robert was commenting that there really wasn't much to see and that basically most of the art wasn't really any good.
I worked in a very small art museum that had a lot of those 18th and 19tj century portraits....there's really a lot of that stuff out there.[/quote]
