I have additionally developed an active interest in the painting and architecture of the Venetian Renaissance, not least because of its real links with my British imperial concerns. In light of work begun in the topographical collections of the British Library, this will lead to a more general investigation into British imperial imageries. At present I am exploring art and travel and colonial art in general, with particular reference to Australia 1788-1840 and am writing a book on picture-making in early colonial Australia. My research has centred on the arts within British social and cultural histories, mainly of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and I have had an abiding concern with landscape.
