'Richard Kenton Webb has, for several years, been in a visual dialogue with a later poet, John Milton. He has said that “Milton has been a companion like Virgil to Dante guiding me through the narrative of my own life”. In 2021, he completed a 10-year project dedicated to ‘A Conversation with Milton’s Paradise Lost’ – 128 drawings, 40 paintings and 12 relief prints. This led to a commission of 12 drawings in response to Milton’s pastoral elegy, ‘Lycidas’, for the Milton Society of America, and a chapter in ‘Milton Across Borders and Media’, published by Oxford University Press. Now, his exhibition ‘A Conversation with Paradise Regain’d and Samson Agonistes’ will be displayed throughout the historic rooms of Milton’s Cottage in Chalfont St Giles, the only surviving home of the visionary poet and parliamentarian. The exhibition commemorates the 350th anniversary of Milton’s death, which is being celebrated this year..'
