William Bell Scott and the ’King’s Quair’ screen

We are pleased to welcome Emily Learmont to discuss the legacy of William Bell Scott and the Scottish connections with Pre-Raphaelitism. Today, the Scottish Colletion of the National Galleries of Scotland reopens with Bell Scotts 'King's Quair' screen going on display for the first time since 1968. Emily tells us the fascinating story of this incredible object.
