The art journal J18 recently published a roundtable that I led in 2024 on Joshua Reynolds’ Mai portrait. The roundtable discussion is reproduced here in a fashion; it reflects something of the rich conversations we had. It includes seven of the participants as well as the keynote, Prof. Peter Brunt. My thanks to Robert Wellington for hosting this roundtable, and me, while I was the 2024 Sir William Dobell Visiting Chair in Art History at ANU. Read it here.
