Churchill's Secret Life as a Painter — Dr. Lucy Davis on Special Exhibition at Wallace Collection

Did you know that in addition to saving the free world, Churchill was also an accomplished painter? Winston Churchill painted nearly 500 canvases across five decades — and most people have never seen them. This summer, the Wallace Collection in London is presenting the first major Churchill painting retrospective in over 60 years. Jonathan sits down with co-curator Dr. Lucy Davis to tell the story of how painting saved Churchill's life — and what you'll discover when you see his art in person. Winston Churchill the Painter runs at the Wallace Collection, London, until November 29, 2026. Book tickets in advance. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ JOIN THE FRIENDS OF ANGLOTOPIA CLUB ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get early access to every episode, exclusive content, and connect with fellow Britain enthusiasts. 👉 https://anglotopia.memberful.com/join ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 💚 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6FpdWW4... 🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fa3... 🌐 Podcast Website: https://podcast.anglotopia.net/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 ANGLOTOPIA & LONDONTOPIA ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 Anglotopia — World's Largest Anglophile Website Since 2007: https://anglotopia.net 🇬🇧 Londontopia — The World's #1 London Website: https://londontopia.net 📧 Free Weekly Newsletter: https://anglotopia.net/newsletter 🛍️ Anglotopia Store: https://store.anglotopia.net ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 FOLLOW US ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Instagram:   / anglotopia   Facebook:   / anglotopia   YouTube:    / @anglotopia   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ DISCLOSURE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Some links in this description are affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links.
