Rolling thread of artworks I encounter during my thesis research 🎨

Topic/themes: whiteness and Classics in British neoclassical paintings, national identity and a growing empire, the Grand Tour and the codification of western civilisation, antiquaries and antiquities
Depending on the painting, I'll add a sentence or two that explains what is happening and/or why I am looking at it.

Feel free to recommend related paintings and further readings.

Obvious disclaimer but I don't own the rights to any of these paintings.
For captioning paintings, I'm following the guidance in this excellent thread by @profjill_burke
