This international academic conference coincides with the Turner Whistler Monet exhibition that sheds new light on the fertile relationship between British and French art and explores works rich in environmental, political, and metaphysical overtones.

The conference focuses on three key themes within the mid and late nineteenth century: artists' relationships and reputations; the aesthetics of pollution; and the representation of the modern, imperial city.

Speakers include the co-curators, Katharine Lochnan and John House, with Caroline Arscott, David Gilbert, Elizabeth Prettejohn, Jonathan Ribner, John Siewert, Suzanne Singletary, Sam Smiles, Barry Venning and Victoria Walsh.
