- Join Philip for an exploration of the legendary Garsington Manor; where artist Gilbert Spencer met society hostess and patron of the arts Lady Ottoline Morrell.
Visitors to the old Oxfordshire manor house at Garsington were so welcomed by the owners, Ottoline and Philip Morrell, that some would stay for months on end. Artists, writers, poets and creatives such as W. J. Turner, T. S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley, Virginia Wolf, Vanessa Bell, Lytton Strachey, Duncan Grant, David Garnett, Dora Carrington, Dorothy Brett and Siegfried Sassoon frequented Ottoline’s Oxfordshire home. In her memoir, Morrell described her home as ‘a theatre, where week after week a travelling company would arrive and play their parts ... How much they felt and saw of the beauty of the setting I never knew.’

Philip I could listen to you each day! Thank you for your lectures and knowledge.
Talk about perfect provenance. Always a pleasure Philip and Oliver...
Always a pleasure to spend time with you Philip
How fascinating that you found a photograph of a copy of this painting (or the original) in the artists' drawing room. What good luck!
OK, BA Honours in Drama and Communications here,... painter... WOW!!! This segment should be on every art college play list. AMAZING. It ties all of these luminaries together - in ONE painting no less!! It's true Philip - you and your son (and wife supporting I think) are a wonder! Amazing stuff. I'm a bit flabbergasted by this painting and the info surrounding it. But it does an amazing job of helping us understand how friendship, sharing, knowledge and nature come together and elevate all of us. Bravo!
What an incredible serendipitous discovery. If you use Google satellite, it is possible that Morrells house is number 47 on Southend road in Garsington and that numbers 45, 43, and 41 Southend road are also seen in your painting. I believe the back section of number 53 is the brick section in your painting.
I just noticed that the Art of Isolation series is back again. How wonderful! Thank you Philip & the team, and stay safe.
Our lives are full of these experiences if we take the time to notice. It’s really quite wonderful - as if time really isn’t just a continuum. The older I get the more I recognize things from the past that were right under my eyes that I never took the time to focus on. Time is really all about focus, smell, taste - our senses.
Look forward to seeing you again as well!
Thank you so much. The peace and calm that exudes from your films is a balm to the soul. You have a gift for telling wonderful stories out of these objects. You make them ten times more interesting. It's so nice of you to share it all with us. From what I've read about that Bloomsbury lot and their ilk when people nowadays behave like that they are generally chavs,but not rich and artistic! Sorry my philistine side asserting itself. Back then I'd have been their scullery maid.
That was particularly wonderful. Thank you!
I can imagine the twinkle in your eye Philip when you spotted the same painting over the fireplace in the photograph. Was also thrilled to read about the discovery you recently made of the Henri III portrait miniature.
Thank you Phillip for another wonderful discussion on a favourite painting. Thank you too Oliver for your gems.
It’s amazing when you find the history of a painting.
Britain between the wars, very interesting period.
A moment on time, with a mini-vacation into a painting, a story to unfold, and a little something to learn. Always a pleasure to see another video from you... Thank You. Have watch your other shows for years, you do a superb job.
How exciting to have found that photograph containing the painting or a version there of. He did a wonderful job of smoothly drawing the eye into the center of the horizon line.
Great story! Wonderful painting! The gate and sky are a lovely balance, just lovely, thank you✨🕊🙏🏻🌹
I do appreciate these glimpes into the other side of paintings you do. I especially liked the photographs this time. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have those kinds of artistic communities now and equally for the artist's, at that time, to recieve the amount of monies that their paintings would often fetch, after their deaths, in auction and dealer houses. How an artists life could be so much improved.
Love the old fire place Philip, always makes a room feel real, homely and befitting good company and fine paintings.
