This institution courted controversy when Myra, a portrait of a female child-killer, was shown at its "Sensation" exhibition. Its permanent collection includes a relief sculpture in which John the Baptist gives the bird toward Christ, who is sprawled out on Mary's lap; that sculpture is Michelangelo's Taddei Tondo. Thor Battering the Midgard Serpent was completed by Henry Fuseli as a "diploma work" for this institution. Annual "Discourses on Art" presented at this institution lay the foundation for the "grand style" of its first president, Joshua Reynolds. For 10 points, name this art institution founded in 18th-century Britain.
