Like mother, like daughter 💙

Jacques-Louis David painted the Comtesse Vilain XIIII and her five-year-old daughter, Marie-Louise in 1816. They are depicted with almost identical hairstyles and wear similar dresses, yet their poses appear contrasting. The seated Comtesse is static and contemplative, her gaze focused on a distant point beyond the viewer, while Marie-Louise’s pose hints at movement. Standing, she leans back into her mother’s lap while tilting her head slightly in the opposite direction. Unlike her mother’s, her gaze directly meets our own.

The Comtesse supports her young daughter by draping the orange cloak over the chair and around her right arm. The orange cloth complements the deep Prussian blue of the dress and brings warmth to the picture. David includes a variety of materials and fabrics, such as lace, linen, and velvet.

Images of motherhood and maternal affection had been popular in French art since the 1780s. However, unlike such precedents, David’s picture does not depict a full embrace or kiss. It is a scene of subtle affection rather than overt emotion: https://bit.ly/3EJsLeG

The painter of light ✨

In contrast to many of Turner’s paintings, often full of activity, grand architectural settings, dramatic weather, and dazzling effects of colour and light, ‘The Evening Star’ looks almost empty. The only figure is a barely visible young boy with a sh*****ng net over his shoulder, who wades in from the shoreline to be greeted by a small leaping dog. The ghostly trace of a boat to the right of centre, which has been painted over, suggests that Turner decided to emphasise the vastness of the sky and sea rather than human industry. It has been reduced to its most fundamental elements: day and night, land and sea, earth, and sky: https://bit.ly/3jA3ecV

One famous pair, one entrepreneurial woman.

Early Netherlandish master, Jan van Eyck painted the now iconic 'Arnolfini Portrait' in 1434. When van Eyck died in 1441, his wife Margaret van Eyck was left a widow with several children. Despite numerous obstacles, Margaret showed great entrepreneurial spirit by successfully applying to the Duke of Burgundy to receive half of her husband's annual pension. With this funding she was able to take on the management of her late husband’s workshop for over a decade, helping to ensure van Eyck’s legacy for centuries to come.

A portrait of Margaret by her husband, painted when she was 33, survives, and is now in the Groeninge Museum, Bruges.

How do you tell the difference between a heroine and a femme fatale? And why could the woman in this painting be either Judith or Salome?

The two candidates for the subject of this painting share many attributes but their drastic actions have very different motives.

The unfinished masterpiece ✨

Renaissance master Michelangelo was born in 1475. Known as ‘The Manchester Madonna’ since 1857 when it was exhibited in the great Manchester Art Exhibition, this composition is probably the earliest of Michelangelo's surviving paintings.

Here the Virgin Mary sits on a rock with the Christ Child and a young John the Baptist next to her. Her right breast is bare suggesting that she has just been feeding her child who reaches up to grasp the book she is holding. The book may be the Old Testament open at Isiah 53 which prophesies Christ’s future crucifixion. The Virgin seems to try to hold it away from him, as though she doesn’t want him to discover his destiny. Saint John the Baptist in his camel skin coat appears to be steadying his cousin, Christ, who is balanced precariously with one foot on a fold of his mother’s cloak. John looks out of the painting maybe to suggest his role in preparing the way for Christ’s teaching.

Angels stand on either side of them. Those on the left are rendered by lines drawn in to mark out the folds of their clothes and by the areas of greenish underpainting traditionally used to balance the pink flesh tones that would be painted over them. Unfinished, 'The Manchester Madonna' provides clues to the artistic process behind of one of art history's greatest painters: https://bit.ly/3oGIhwO

We have acquired our first painting by the German Modernist painter Max Pechstein.

This is a portrait of Charlotte Cuhrt, the daughter of Max Cuhrt, a successful solicitor and patron of the avant-garde. She’s dressed in red, with a large, dark hat on her head and a flamboyant ring on her left hand. The picture was part of a wider decorative scheme for the Cuhrts’ lavish apartment in Kurfürstendamm 152, Berlin. You can see the painting in Room 43: https://bit.ly/41badNU

NOW OPEN: 'Nalini Malani: My Reality is Different'

Artist Nalini Malani, our first National Gallery contemporary fellow, presents new ways of seeing well-known works of art. Taking her inspiration from paintings in the National Gallery and Bath’s Holburne Museum, Malani has created striking new video animations.

The animations, hand-drawn using an iPad, reveal and conceal different aspects of the paintings in both collections, including works by Caravaggio and Bronzino in the Gallery’s collection and by Jan van der Venne and Johann Zoffany in Bath among many others, to rediscover them from an alternative, and critical point of view. The exhibition also has fictitious portraits of the marginalised in society that appear in between the animations; a reference to people whose work underpins the economies that connect us across the globe.

The exhibition is open until 11 June. Find out more and book your visit here: https://bit.ly/3alFloj

The legacy of Leonardo ✨

This picture is a later version of a painting by Bernardino Luini, a famous Milanese painter of the early 16th century who was a follower of Leonardo. The soft, hazy approach to modelling and lighting seen here, known in Italian as ‘sfumato’ (literally ‘smoky’), was typical of Leonardo’s style. Forms emerge from the darkness and contours are blurred, creating a sense of ambiguity, especially in the figures’ expressions.

This saint looks down at her book and seems to smile quietly to herself. On either side of her are two angels, one holding a spiked wheel on which the saint was tortured, while the other, holds a martyr’s palm. The painting’s contemplative mood is enhanced by the rich deep colours and plain dark background.

Can you guess who this saint is? Find out the answer on our website: https://bit.ly/3XXWAzM

The ‘Queen of Paris’ 🥂

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the birth of Renoir, the leading Impressionist painter. This portrait of the glamourous Misia Sert, née Godebska, was one of several that the artist painted over his career. The darling of artistic circles in France at the turn of the 20th century, local newspapers dubbed her the ‘Queen of Paris’.

Here Renoir depicts Misia leaning against the bolster of her chaise longue, a society hostess at home and at ease. She affectionately cradles her sleeping dog against her lap, while propping her head up against her right hand. Her gaze is hard to interpret – she seems to be looking directly at the viewer yet not quite focusing. Perhaps Renoir had captured something of her emotional uncertainty in the face of her looming divorce.

The portrait is dated 1904, when Misia was aged 32. It was the same year in which she divorced her first husband, Thadée Natanson, director of the influential literary and artistic review, the R***e blanche. Misia eventually went on to marry the Spanish painter José-Maria Sert and Coco Chanel, one of her closest friends, even joined them on their honeymoon in Venice: https://bit.ly/3K4smDq

How we'll be spending our Shrove Tuesday 🥞

'The Lavergne Family Breakfast' by Jean-Etienne Liotard depicts an elegantly dressed woman and a little girl dipping biscuits into a cup of milky coffee. It is early morning, and the girl wears paper curlers in her hair. Although the plain background little sense of the interior they are in, the figures’ clothing suggests that they are very comfortably off. Liotard has spared no details in his depictions of these fabrics, from the sheen of the woman’s black and pink striped silk dress to the delicate pattern of her matching sleeves and apron.

Coffee and chocolate were exclusive, luxurious beverages in the 18th century, often enjoyed at breakfast by those who could afford them. The highly polished lacquer tray in front of the two figures also implies luxury: https://bit.ly/2z3AlSN

Pope Julius II died in 1513.

Painted by Raphael, this portrait of Pope Julius II depicts the sitter in his papal uniform, his eyes cast downwards and his expression mournful. His long white beard was grown as a token of mortification while recovering from a near-fatal illness brought on by the loss of Bologna to the French. He vowed not to shave it off until French troops had been expelled from Italy, which happened in 1512. It is likely that the portrait was painted very shortly after the Pope returned from his military campaign in Emilia-Romagna on 27 June 1511.

The two golden acorns on his chair allude to his family name, della Rovere (‘rovere’ is Italian for oak). The portrait was displayed on 12 December 1513, after Julius’s death, in the Roman church of Santa Maria del Popolo. It was enormously influential and became the model for ecclesiastical portraiture over the following 200 years. Sebastiano, Titian, El Greco, Velázquez, Domenichino, Reni and Guercino are among the many artists who adopted this three-quarter length formula for portraiture: https://bit.ly/3xHJEUo

When life gives you 🍋

This is one of only a dozen surviving paintings by Juan de Zurbarán, son of the celebrated Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán. Although Juan is recorded as having painted religious works, none of these have survived. He is known today exclusively as a still-life painter.

Here he depicts an array of objects with extraordinary delicacy and accuracy. At the centre stands a large wicker basket piled high with fresh lemons, their waxy green leaves still attached. Sprigs of flowers such as lemon blossom, red carnations, blue delphiniums, white roses, day lilies and a tulip – are scattered throughout the composition. A goldfinch perches on the edge of a porcelain bowl filled with water, and a single day lily floats on the surface.

These objects are almost certainly intended to be symbolic. The water and lily both refer to the purity of the Virgin Mary, while the goldfinch is often associated with Christ’s Passion and sacrifice. According to legend, the bird flew down towards Christ on the road to Calvary, the site of his crucifixion, and plucked a thorn from his brow, splashing its feathers with a drop of his blood: https://bit.ly/2LbGixI

The apple of one's eye 🍎

Joachim Wtewael’s sumptuous picture, full of soft, subtle colour, shows the precursor to one of the most famous battles in mythology, the Trojan War. First told by the Greek poet Homer in his epic poem 'The Iliad', this allegorical tale has served as an inspiration to artists for centuries.

In Wtewael’s version, a wedding party of naked nymphs and satyrs is halted in the background, frozen like statues beneath the commanding arm of Eris (the personification of strife). She has been sent by Jupiter, the ruler of the Gods, to provoke a quarrel between the three goddesses, Minerva, Juno, and Venus. The three of them stand in the centre of the composition, Minerva, goddess of war, with her helmet and spear; Juno, Jupiter’s wife, her peacock in the trees above her; and Venus, goddess of love, with pearls in her hair. The Trojan Prince Paris sits between them, he has been chosen by Jupiter to judge the ‘fairest’ of the goddess. He hands a golden apple to Venus, marking her as the winner.

The subject of the Judgement of Paris, giving prominence to the n**e female figure from various angles, was popular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. There are two in our collection by Peter Paul Rubens; however they are in a more realist style, without Wtewael’s love of detailed opulence and fantasy: https://bit.ly/40MxB4g
