Georgian Monarchs with Dr Eugene Barilo von Reisberg

While the lives of Anne and George III have been the subject of scholarly research, the two interim rulers, George I and George II, are seldom mentioned. This lecture offers an insight into the two monarchs, exploring their tumultuously unconventional private lives and their roles as patrons and supporters of artistic talent on both sides of the North Sea.

Dr Eugene Barilo von Reisberg is a Melbourne-based scholar and art adviser.
