The programme of displays in the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery is generously supported by the International Music and Art Foundation, with additional support from James Bartos. New video animations featuring famous paintings in the National Gallery and the Holburne Museum, Bath, have been created by Nalini Malani, the first artist to receive the National Gallery’s Contemporary Fellowship, supported by Art Fund. The project is the culmination of Malani’s selection in 2020 as the first artist to receive the National Gallery’s Contemporary Fellowship, supported by Art Fund. The two-year research and production programme has allowed Malani to work in close collaboration with specialists from both the National Gallery and the Holburne Museum in Bath to study the institutions and their collections, with the aim to create a new artwork. The Ugly Duchess: Beauty and Satire in the Renaissance Discover Manet & Eva Gonzalès' at the National Gallery is the first UK exhibition devised around the portrait of Eva Gonzalès (1870) by Édouard Manet (1832–1883). The painting, acquired by Hugh Lane, was by the early 20th century considered to be the most famous modern French painting in the UK and Ireland. This is the first in a new series of ‘Discover’ exhibitions to be staged in the National Gallery’s Sunley Room to explore well-known paintings in the collection through a contemporary lens.

A linear calendar visually displays the entire year in one continuous line. This helps make the passage of time more concrete for young children. It allows them to count down to when special events, holidays, and birthdays are occurring. Why a Linear Calendar is Perfect for Preschoolers and Elementary Kids Support was delivered by Barnardo’s, and a network of 82 delivery partners, to a total of 43,114 children and young people in the UK; the main groups were children under 5, children with educational needs or disabilities, children at risk of exploitation, children from BAME refugee groups, young carers and children with mental health needs.Study a new constellation each month of the year with the “Constellations” linear calendar. In addition to observing the constellation in the sky, you can also read constellation myths from around the world with Star Stories: Constellation Tales From Around the World by Anita Ganeri.

A key objective was to intervene at an early stage, before these problems became exacerbated and caused additional harm, or led to a crisis situation. Made from fibres derived from blue rags, blue paper first appeared in Northern Italy in the 14th century. It became a popular drawing support for artists, and its use spread across Western Europe by the late 16th century; it was widely used in England and France in the 18th century. Blue paper provided a nuanced mid-tone which allowed the creation of strong light and dark contrasts, an effect much sought after by draughtsmen. This display will present a selection of drawings and prints acquired by The Courtauld since 2018. Highlights include a 17 th-century Florentine drawing which will be here reunited for the first time with its left half from which it was cut at some point in its history. Female artists are significantly represented, the selection includes works by Mary Cassatt (the first by the Impressionist painter to enter the collection), Maliheh Afnan, Deanna Petherbridge and Susan Schwalb, as well as earlier watercolours. Prints by Sir Grayson Perry and Sir Frank Bowling will also feature. A devoted connoisseur of European painting and regular visitor since his earliest days in London, Lucian Freud had a close association with the National Gallery. ‘I use the gallery as if it were a doctor,’ Freud told the journalist Michael Kimmelman. The exhibition is organised by the National Gallery and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid. Discover Manet & Eva Gonzalès

Our Bestselling Humour Calendars

A ground-breaking new exhibition of over a hundred paintings and sculptures by artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky, Claudel, Sonia Delaunay and Kollwitz will open at the National Gallery next year. 'After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art' (25 March – 13 August 2023), will include some of the most important works of art created between 1886 and around 1914. While celebrating Paris as the international artistic capital, 'After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art' will also be one of the first exhibitions to focus on the exciting and often revolutionary artistic developments across other European cities during this period. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Art Institute of Chicago; Musée Rodin, Paris; National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Museu nacional d’arte de Catalunya, Barcelona; Tate; and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut.

On a linear calendar, the days of the week and the months of the year are arranged sequentially, with the dates clearly marked.

Monet and London: Views of the Thames will realise Monet’s unfulfilled ambition of showing this extraordinary group of paintings in London, on the banks of the Thames a mere 300 metres from the Savoy Hotel where many were painted. By presenting the paintings Monet himself selected for his public, the exhibition will provide visitors with the unique experience of seeing the show Monet curated and the works he felt best represented his artistic enterprise – reunited for the first time 120 years after their unveiling. The exhibition takes Manet’s portrait of Eva Gonzalès (1849–1883), as its focus, with the aim of presenting fresh perspectives on women artists and their artistic practice in 19th-century Paris and more broadly. The free exhibition includes works by Eva Gonzalès, Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Alfred Stevens and Laura Knight. Exhibition organised by the National Gallery and the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin. Turner on TourOur “Claude Monet” linear calendar helps introduce children to the artwork of Claude Monet. Each painting has been selected to represent the seasons as well. Pair this linear calendar with the “Claude Monet Activity Bundle” for even more hands-on learning opportunities! More than 30 years after Dame Paula Rego (1935–2022), the National Gallery’s first Associate Artist (1990–92), was commissioned to create a painting for the Sainsbury Wing Dining Room, a new exhibition will explore the relationship of Rego’s work titled 'Crivelli’s Garden' to the 15th-century altarpiece that inspired it. The exhibition, which had long been planned to mark this anniversary, will unite the two monumental artworks in the Gallery’s collection for the first time – inviting visitors to draw out direct comparisons – and will also show how members of National Gallery staff found their way into Dame Paula’s work. Céline Condorelli: Artist in Residence How many days are there in this month? How many days were in last month? What about next month? Which months have an even number of days? Which months have an odd number of days? This spring, a remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful, large-scale drawings by Frank Auerbach (b. 1931), produced in post-war London in the 1950s and 1960s will be presented together for the first time. Auerbach created these portrait heads in charcoal and chalk, spending months reworking them during numerous sessions with his sitters. The drawings will be shown together alongside a selection of closely related paintings he made of the same sitters. Today, these works are considered some of his early masterpieces. This focused display in the Project Space will be the first devoted to The Courtauld’s significant collection of Bell’s work. It will include paintings such as her masterpiece A Conversation, as well as the bold, abstract textile designs she produced for the Omega Workshops, led by influential artist and critic Roger Fry in London, which aimed to abolish the boundaries between the fine and decorative arts and bring the arts into everyday life. The exhibition will highlight one of the most cutting-edge artists working in Britain in the early 20th century.
