ITP Research Grant 2025 report!!

Written by Claire Messenger, Manager, International Training Programme

In 2025 we were delighted to award an ITP Research Grant to Joyee Roy, Officer of Documentation & Curation, Victoria Memorial Hall (India, ITP 2011).

Joyee used her grant to publish her research publication ‘The social and moral issues along with vibrant climate of India transformed significantly the British palette of Turner, Blake and Stubbs during the 18th & 19th centuries.’  

Joyee’s book, an English language publication, has enabled her to share her findings on British art with readers all over the world and raise consciousness about another dimension of British art on Indian themes. Readers are able to learn more about how the Indian social and moral issues, as well as vibrant climate of India, changed the palette of pioneer British artists of that era.

We were delighted to be able to support Joyee and to share her report and the video of her book launch.
