Rubens had a profoundly visual memory.

On his travels in Italy between 1600 and 1608 he was mesmerised not only by ancient sculpture but also
by the work of Italian Renaissance artists, most especially Michelangelo.

This drawing contains copies of the figure of Night, one of four marble figures sculpted by Michelangelo on the Medici family tombs in the Sagrestia Nuova (New Sacristy) in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence. Rubens probably made the core part of the drawing on the spot, as the light corresponds exactly with the light on the sculpture there.

Rubens took from Michelangelo’s n**e women a sense of strength. Ancient sculptures and ideal
physiognomies of the sixteenth century were to have a profound effect on Rubens’s formation of the female n**e in the following century.

11/10/2023

This half-length portrait of a handsome young woman is arguably one of Rubens’s most compelling early portraits. Still a young man and an emerging artist, Rubens succeeded in convincingly recording the sitter’s physical presence and capturing her character and psychological make up. She gazes at the viewer with an almost daring invitation to be taken seriously.

The Spanish fashion of high ruff and elegant bodice are swiftly sketched, and the sitter plays with a gold chain in her right hand. The sketchiness of the paint application, with the edges of the work left unfinished, may indicate that this is a study for a more finished portrait. Alternatively, it may simply be a clever device to impress the viewer into wonderment at the precision of the artist even while painting at speed.

If you’re keen to learn more about Rubens’ remarkable career, our curator’s talk with co-curator Dr Amy Orrock takes place at the Gallery tomorrow – final tickets are available via the 🔗

We are pleased to introduce our new display by .shamma.artist.

In Bold Spirits, Shamma responds to the Gallery’s historic Collection with a focus on paintings of women. Shamma's new works channel the spirits of these female figures while also connecting them to moments from her own life, retelling their stories for contemporary viewers.

Each of Shamma’s paintings presents a powerful and thought-provoking interpretation of works by artists including Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Lely, Anthony van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens. Shamma explores identity, death, motherhood and unexpected beauty in works that demonstrate her technical expertise as an artist, as well as her long-standing appreciation of the Old Masters.

When Julie Manet’s father died in 1892, his friend the poet Stéphane Mallarmé gave her a pet greyhound called Laertes, named after Hamlet’s loyal friend.

In Morisot’s poignant painting from 1893 she is shown with the dog, a blur forming an empty chair, which only increases the sense of absence.

This painting shows Morisot’s sister Edma watering plants on the terrace of the Morisot family home in Passy, wearing a white housedress intended only for indoors. Morisot’s decision to place her in this attire, out in the open air against the backdrop of city buildings feels like a marker of frankness and sisterly intimacy. There is also a connection with Jean-Antoine Watteau’s female figures, seen from behind, but their frail shoulders have been replaced here with an assertive posture.

'In August 1875, Berthe Morisot and her husband Eugène Manet visited the Isle of Wight on her honeymoon. Painted from inside looking out, this painting of Manet looking out of the sitting room window of the couple's lodgings at Globe Cottage, encapsulates Morisot’s position as a new visitor to the island: hesitant to set up her easel in public, but alert to visual possibilities.

This weekend marks the beginning of Cowes week which has been held on the Isle of Wight in early August every year since 1826. ‘Shaping Impressionism’ co-curator Dr Lois Oliver travelled to the Isle of Wight earlier this year.

🌳 We are set to expand the experience of our visitors with plans for an interactive sculpture garden and a new building for families.

We have received planning permission for an innovative transformation of our site, in the biggest redevelopment we’ve undertaken in over 20 years. A brand new, free to access outdoor gallery will extend the visitor experience into the gardens, opening up previously inaccessible green space, while a new building and extension will reveal new views of the site and provide much needed facilities for families, with a focus on art and creative play.

Under the banner ‘Open Art’, the ambitious plans will maximise the Gallery’s unique potential - its building, art, gardens, people and location - for future generations. To deliver this vision, the Gallery has appointed award-winning architects alongside leading landscape artist Kim Wilkie.

We look forward to sharing more with you all in the coming months.

Symbolist artists’ concerns with the fast-encroaching modern world manifested most clearly in their representations of the changing city, impacted by rural depopulation and, in their view, the root cause of man’s fundamental disconnect with nature.

Čiurlionis’ representations of the city are quite different. His architecture is futuristic, playful even with its bridges and terraces, with a hint of the World’s Fair, while strangely reminiscent of ancient structures. For Čiurlionis these are not empty cities of death but tower-dome and spire-filled, luminous spaces of possibility and imaginings.

Happy New Year!

The garden parties painted by Jean-Baptiste Pater show a type of outdoor entertainment which was then popular at the French court - although a bit chilly for this time of year! This light-hearted subject matter was perfect to decorate the walls of a vibrant Parisian townhouse, and Pater produced vast numbers of these scenes with wealthy French collectors in mind.

What are your plans this evening?

Antoine Watteau was a master at depicting parties and festive occasions. On a loggia opening into a lush green park, an elegant couple executes the intricate steps of a minuet dance. The assembled party guests are absorbed in conversation or flirtation and pay no attention to the dancers. As viewers to this vibrant scene, we can imagine its many sounds: the rustling of silks, the chatter of voices, the tinkling of the fountain and the harmonious notes struck by the musicians on the right-hand side.

It’s common to find yourself napping more often at this time of year. This painting by the Dutch artist Arent de Gelder, depicts an episode from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Casting his bag aside, the figure of Jacob has lain down to sleep on the rocky ground. In his dream, he sees a ladder stretching from earth to heaven on which angels are ascending and descending.

Nothing like a festive walk!

This is one of Thomas Gainsborough’s early conversation pieces, featuring an unidentified couple, who seem to be members of the land-owning gentry. The wife holds a porte-crayon in one hand and a drawing in the other: Gainsborough has depicted her as an amateur artist.

This spring Dulwich Picture Gallery (London) will present an exhibition of works by the talented Berthe Morisot.

Will you be attending?

If so, you may be interested in attending my talk 'Berthe Morisot: The Forgotten Impressionist'.

It will give you a great grounding in Morisot's works before you attend the exhibition.

The online talk will take place on 24th March, just before the exhibition opens on 31st March.

The talk is available to book now, via my website here: https://stellagracelyons.co.uk/arthistory/online-talks/

Berthe Morisot: The Forgotten Impressionist

'Berthe Morisot created some of the most progressive and visually pleasing works in late 19th Century France.

She participated in all but one of the 8 Impressionist exhibitions (only Pissarro showed work in all eight).

Yet on her death certificate she was listed as having ‘no profession’.

What does this tell us about female artists working in this period?

Why has so little attention been paid to this artist until recently?

This talk will explore Morisot’s revolutionary work, including her most famous painting ‘The Cradle’.'

Londono Dalvičo galerijoje (Dulwich Picture Gallery) šiuo metu viešintys M. K. Čiurlionio tapybos darbai sulaukia nemažai dėmesio. Parodą „M. K.

Britų meno kritikė ir žurnalistė Laura Gascoigne žurnale „The Spectator“ apžvelgia M. K. Čiurlionio biografiją bei kūrybą ir teigia, kad šį lietuvių menininką mato kaip vokiečių siurrealisto, dadaisto, skulptoriaus bei dailininko Maxo Ernsto ir kino režisieriaus Fritzo Lango pirmtaką. 👇

On now, until 12 March 2023, at Dulwich Picture Gallery an exhibition of over 100 ethereal paintings by Lithuania's much loved artist, symbolist painter and pioneer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911), entitled "M.K. Čiurlionis: Between Worlds".

Čiurlionis explored early abstraction, spirituality, philosophy and our relationship to the universe. Initially starting out in music, at 19, he travelled to the Institute of Music in Warsaw where he studied between 1894 and 1899, and then to the Conservatoire in Leipzig
where he studied between 1901-1902. He enrolled in the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1904, where he studied until 1906

Uwaga, uwaga! 🔔 Dziś ostatni dzień wystawy "Arcydzieła dla króla? Rubens, van Dyck, Teniers II ze zbiorów Dulwich Picture Gallery". Od godziny 10.00 do 16.00 wystawę w Podchorążówce można zwiedzić za darmo 🙂. Zapraszamy!
Pięć prezentowanych obrazów to dzieła, które król Stanisław August zamówił do swojej kolekcji. Nie zdążył za nie jednak zapłacić, ponieważ został zmuszony do abdykacji. 🖼 Obrazy nigdy nie dotarły do Warszawy i do dziś pozostają w Londynie. Więcej informacji o dziełach na naszej stronie: https://www.lazienki-krolewskie.pl/pl/wydarzenia/rubens-van-dyck-teniers-ze-zbiorow-dulwich-picture-gallery

Wystawa Arcydzieła dla króla, którą można oglądać w Łazienkach Królewskich, to idealna kulturalna propozycja dla najmłodszych. Dlaczego? Bo łączy w sobie najlepszą sztukę, świetną historię, elementy humorystyczne i jest na wyciągnięcie ręki. Zapraszam na bloga, gdzie rozwijam temat i opowiadam historię londyńskiej kolekcji dzieł malarstwa europejskiego, która o mały włos nie stała się własnością naszego kraju!

Darmowy Listopad to idealny czas, by przyjść do Podchorążówki i przyjrzeć się z bliska pięciu arcydziełom z Dulwich Picture Gallery w Londynie 🖼. Ich autorami są Rubens, Van Dyck, Teniers II. Obrazy te mają ciekawą historię.

U schyłku panowania Stanisława Augusta zostały zgromadzone na zamówienie króla, który stale powiększał swoją kolekcję 👑. Król nie zdołał jednak zapłacić za obrazy, a dzieła nigdy nie dotarły do Warszawy. W 1795 r. Polska zniknęła z mapy Europy, a Stanisław August został zmuszony do oddania korony.

Dziś prezentujemy je na wystawie czasowej, która potrwa - uwaga! - tylko do 1 grudnia 🔔. Więcej szczegółów na naszej stronie: https://www.lazienki-krolewskie.pl/pl/wydarzenia/rubens-van-dyck-teniers-ze-zbiorow-dulwich-picture-gallery
