Poet and prose writer, symbol of French romanticism, prominent public and political figure, former senator of France (1876-1885) Victor Hugo is known throughout the world thanks to his iconic novels “Les Miserables”, “The Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris” and not only.
In private life, the playwright’s refuge was painting. Hugo’s ink and pencil drawings of imaginary castles, monsters and seascapes are as poetic as his writings. In his time, Hugo’s drawings were inspired by other famous writers and Surrealist and Impressionist painters, among them Vincent van Gogh.
The exhibition, which opens at the Royal Academy of Arts in March 2025, will feature Hugo’s early cartoons, travel illustrations, dramatic landscapes and experiments with abstraction. The exhibition will allow viewers to further explore the writer’s affinity for artistic practice and immerse themselves in his mesmerizing imagination, but created on canvases rather than on the pages of books.

The renowned painter José María Velasco was a man of many interests – he was fascinated by the achievements of geology, the archaeology of his native country, the study of flora, and the growing presence of industrialization. Through his paintings, Velasco, who worked in the style of realism, was able not only to convey the beauty of Mexico’s sprawling landscapes and the unique splendor of local nature, but also to make Mexican geography a symbol of national identity.
Through the many exquisite details that fill Velasco’s canvases, along with turbulent rivers and volcanoes, valleys and exotic plants, the viewer sees the dust raised by cart wheels, monuments, bridges, trains and railroads that symbolize the traces of human presence and urbanization on the “body” of pristine nature.
The exhibition, which will open in March 2025 at The National Gallery, will not only highlight Velasco’s place among the great nineteenth-century landscape painters, but will also commemorate the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Great Britain.

In 1890 Vincent van Gogh paints his last paintings. Seventy-two years later, seventeen-year-old Anselm Kiefer receives a grant to travel in Van Gogh’s footsteps, beginning in the Netherlands, passing through Belgium, Paris and Arles in the south of France.
German artist Anselm Kiefer, whose monumental paintings and sculptures draw on history, mythology, literature, philosophy and science, has been inspired by Van Gogh’s subjects and techniques throughout his 60-year career.
The Kiefer / Van Gogh exhibition, which will open in London in June 2025, will offer viewers the opportunity to see works by both artists and explore the powerful influence that the great Impressionist had on Kiefer’s work. The exhibition will also be complemented by new works by Kiefer that have not previously been presented to the public.

The sower, the woodcutter, the shepherdess – these were the images that made French artist Jean-François Millet famous. Born into a farmer’s family in Normandy, Millet moved to the village of Barbizon in 1849, where the focus of his work was people who had spent their lives working “on the land” – often the poorest in France in the XIX century. He truly knew and “saw” these people, and his realistic, unsentimental approach to portraying them was completely new for his time.
The exhibition, which The National Gallery will present in August 2025, will allow viewers to appreciate the beauty, quiet power and realism of the artist’s work. For example, the exhibition will include his iconic painting Angelus, a typical example of the dignified way in which Millais portrayed the workers of his era. A husband and wife, illuminated by an almost ethereal light, stand with their heads bowed, having stopped work in the field to say a prayer.

The early fourteenth century in central Italy is a golden age for art. The artists Duccio, Simone Martini and the brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti create a new way of painting. They paint pictures with a drama never seen before. Faces show emotion. Bodies move in space. Stories are embodied on canvases in colorful scenes.
This local artistic phenomenon created a sensation internationally, and the new images spilled over into the work of painters, metalworkers, weavers and carvers throughout Europe – who in turn created panels from Simone Martini’s brilliant polyptych Orsini, illuminated manuscripts, ivory Madonnas, carpets and silks that referenced new readings of well-known subjects.
The exhibition will feature more than one hundred pieces by artisans from Siena, Naples, Avignon and elsewhere, exploring this important milestone of redefinition in art.

From its inception in 1980 until 2004, the legendary magazine The Face played an important role in shaping contemporary culture, both in the UK and beyond. The musicians who appeared on its covers achieved worldwide success and the models it supported, including a young Kate Moss, became some of the most recognizable faces of our time. The magazine also launched the careers of many leading photographers and fashion stylists, who were given the creative freedom to radically redefine the visual language of fashion photography and define the spirit of their time.
The exhibition will bring together the work of over 80 photographers, including Sheila Rock, Stefan Sednaoui, Corinne Day, David Sims, Elaine Constantine and Selve Sundsbe, and will present over 200 photographs – a unique opportunity to see many of these images outside the magazine pages for the first time.

Picasso: The Three Dancers is a deep dive into one of the most iconic paintings 100 years after it was painted.
A milestone in modern art in 1925, the masterpiece epitomizes agony and ecstasy, as well as Picasso’s radical departure from his serene classical phase and the beginning of a new period of “emotional violence” and expressionist distortions. The canvas is at the crossroads between madness, philosophy and the avant-garde. Exploring themes of sex, death and politics, viewers will learn the full story of this great painting through a selection of Picasso’s key works.

Two of Britain’s greatest artists – J. M. W. Turner and John Constable – were also the greatest of rivals. Born one year apart – Turner in 1775, Constable in 1776 – they used landscape art as a way to reflect the changing world around them.
Both artists fought for success with very different but equally bold approaches. Turner painted blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels, while Constable often returned to depicting a handful of favorite places, striving for fresh and authentic images of nature. Art critics compared their paintings to a clash of “fire and water”.
Must-see works include Turner’s powerful and dynamic paintings, which incidentally inspired Claude Monet, and Constable’s evocative sketches of clouds, which capture the changing light of the English sky.

The image of Marie Antoinette remains an eternally attractive and difficult to read fashion icon. This phenomenon is defined by the imprinted youth, hedonism, socialite, elegance, and, of course, the scandalous fame of this famous French queen.
