- **Event Description**: Join exhibition co-curators Laurel Peterson and Holly Shaffer to learn more about Painters, Ports, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company, 1750–1850, which draws primarily from the YCBA’s rich collection of works of art produced across Asia. Moderated by Romita Ray, a specialist in the art of the British Empire in India, this program provides an overview of the exhibition with a focus on the remarkable paintings and drawings of plants and animals in the show. These works highlight the exchange of artistic ideas among Indian, Chinese, and British artists, and the circulation of papers and pigments during a period ruthlessly driven by commerce and the imperial ambitions of the East India Company.
After the talk, drop into the galleries to look closely at a few key works in the exhibition with the co-curators and Tim Barringer, Paul Mellon Professor, Department of the History of Art.
