Chatterton Revisited, Zoetica Ebb, London 2020

The Death of Chatteron, Henry Wallis, London 1856

I visit this painting at Tate Britain with some regularity, perhaps for obvious reasons now, but I’d been infatuated with it long before G and I met. This humble recreation is something I’ve been meaning to do for ages, perhaps even in the very room this was painted, but this quarantine version in my bedroom will do for now.
