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.

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, however, the playwright’s refuge was painting. Created in ink and pencil, Hugo’s 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.

Painter José María Velasco was a man of many interests – he was fascinated by advances in geology, the archaeology of his native country, the study of flora, and the growing presence of industrialization. Through his paintings, Velasco, who worked in a realist style, 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.
