	CityBeat: Brit Blockbuster (2000-02-17)
		For the Picture Gallery, Soane devised sky-lit, classically proportioned rooms, with walls painted in what came to be known as "Picture Gallery Red." Not all visitors liked the results, but Soane has been influential down the years, most particularly with architects of our own time.
		In Louisville, the galleries are painted Picture Gallery Red for the exhibition, a jolt for those accustomed to white walls, but these 17th- and 18th-century paintings hold their own against a rich background.
		The collection became the Dulwich Picture Gallery through a string of happenstance, certainly unexpected by Stanislaus, King of Poland, when he empowered a pair of ambitious London art dealers in the late 18th century to purchase for him paintings by the most popular and admired artists of the day.
