Holburne museum places renowned photographer’s pictures of ancient Roman statutes alongside his images of war and conflict
He is revered for his extraordinary black-and-white images documenting conflict, humanitarian crises and the tougher side of postwar Britain.
But an exhibition of work by photojournalist Sir Don McCullin opening this week at the Holburne museum in Bath focuses on a very different subject: Roman sculptures.
The show, Don McCullin: Broken Beauty, features images of ancient statues photographed during trips around some of the world’s great museums.
They have not been seen before in the UK, and McCullin, 90, said this show – and one final trip to the Vatican to photograph more statues – would be his swansong.
