We are delighted to welcome Dr Peter Forsaith and Dr Ruth Slatter to the podcast to talk about the life, times and works of James Smetham. A recent exhibition of Smetham's work at Bewdley Museum explored the themes of spirituality and mental illness and the impact they had on Smetham's work and life. Despite close friendships with Ruskin and D.G. Rossetti, Smetham's devout Methodism and poor mental health meant that he often struggled to be part of the community surrounding the Pre-Raphaelites. However, much of Smetham's incredible art clearly demonstrates continuity with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
