Both Lord Nelson and the artist Benjamin West are important figures in the Old Royal Naval College’s history, and their meeting was a momentous occasion. At a dinner together, Nelson confesses to West to have little taste for art, but could "never pass a paint shop where [West’s] Death Of Wolfe is in the window without being stopped by it". To find out what follows and much more, join this free talk exploring stories behind the Nelson Pediment – erected at the Old Royal Naval College in honour of Nelson – on the same month of the Battle of Trafalgar.
