Joshua Reynolds Statue Paints Clouds

As a visual pun, the statue of Sir Joshua Reynolds seeminly paints clouds in blue sky from outside the Royal Academy in Piccadilly during the Summer Exhibition, on 13th August 2019, in London, England. This is a new cast of the original that was first exhibited outside the RA in 1904 and is an allegory of the human need for new challenges, of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon and the future. Sir Joshuas statue stands in the Annenberg Courtyard of Burlington House.
