Hannibal de Pencier (Yale University), “Beyond Britain | ‘The Indian Rhinoceros’ ” (Yale Center for British Art)

Join us in the galleries for this “Beyond Britain” talk on an artwork that highlights the global histories in the YCBA. Hannibal de Pencier is a PhD candidate in Yale’s department of the history of art. He will explore how William Daniell’s The Indian Rhinoceros conveys both the excitement of a chance encounter and the authority of close observation, presenting its unfamiliar subject as at once distant and convincingly known.
