color:black;font-weight:normal'>This lecture will explore the idea of
‘the other’ in nineteenth-century art, with a particular emphasis
on French painting. The investigation will be twofold: examining artists’
depictions of the ‘other’ within the context of nineteenth-century
imperialism, and artists’ adoption of non-European painting techniques.
Some of the artists that will be discussed include J.A.D. Ingres, Eugène
Delacroix, Jean-Lèon Gérôme and Edouard Manet.</span><span style='font-size:
