Notes

1Ekphrastic narratives feature extended descriptions of works of art. W. J. T. Mitchell defines ekphrasis as the ‘verbal representation of a visual representation’ (Mitchell: 152), and James Heffernan calls it the ‘the literary representation of visual art’ (Heffernan: 1).

2Alexander describes: ‘The crowd flowed between him and the paintings. It seemed to have overflowed from the steps of the National Gallery, variously uniformed, uniformly various. Grimy thronged feet under, silky, fluffy, matted beards over, sari and saffron robe. Military jackets from Vietnam and the Crimea, barely sprouted moustaches and poultry-thin necks popping out of gilded collars above tarnished epaulettes’ (10).
