The Poor Man's Picture Gallery Competition
The photo below was taken during the filming of the BBC4 documentary Thomas Chatterton : the doomed poet, and shows Brian as Thomas Chatterton.
Although the photograph looks, at first glance, very similar to the painting by Henry Wallis (see below) from which it is inspired, a closer look will reveal THREE objects which are NOT in Wallis’s painting. These are clues to three of the twelve paintings that are hung in the current display (until 1st November) called The Poor Man's Picture Gallery at Tate Britain.
This free exhibition presents side by side original works of art from the Tate and 19th century stereo cards from Dr. Brian May’s collection that inspired or were inspired by the same paintings. Four stereoscopic cabinets standing opposite the paintings allow the visitors to view the twelve related stereoscopic restaged photographs in glorious 3-D.
