Paintings Online Project

Five of LSHTM’s oil paintings have joined nearly 2000 others from the London Borough of Camden on the Your Paintings website at: bbc.co.uk/yourpaintings.

Tess Barnes’ portrait of Baroness Lynda Chalker, Graham Cole’s painting of the Keppel Street building, Hubert Andrew Freeth’s portrait of Robert Leiper, Harry Herman Salomon's portrait of Sir Patrick Manson and Margaret Lindsay Williams' portrait of Sir George Newman are now visible on the website alongside paintings by Canaletto, Hogarth, Benjamin West and many others.

The Your Paintings project is intended to create a complete online catalogue of every oil painting in the national collection, and members of the public are invited to tag the works already available on the website to make them more discoverable.
