Pompeo Batoni

In his day, Pompeo Batoni was the most celebrated painter in Rome. The American painter Benjamin West said, ‘When I went to Rome, the Italian artists of that day thought of nothing, looked at nothing, but the work of Pompeo Batoni’.

For nearly half a century, Batoni recorded international travellers' visits to Italy on the Grand Tour in portraits that remain among the most memorable artistic accomplishments of the period. Equally gifted as a history painter, his religious and mythological works were eagerly acquired by the greatest patrons and collectors in Britain and mainland Europe.

Radical Light

This exhibition, the first of its kind organised outside Italy, will explore the complex relationship between the Italian Divisionists and the artists who were later to launch the Futurist movement in the early years of the 20th century.

Centred in Milan, Divisionism is arguably the most significant art movement to have emerged in Italy during the last decades of the 19th century. Dissatisfaction with modern civilization led artists to explore Symbolism – their aim was to represent political concerns and make their art an instrument of social change. The movement also sprang from research into optics and the physics of light. Inspired by French developments with pointillism, and fuelled by a desire to increase the luminosity and brilliance of their paintings, artists developed techniques of applying paint in a variety of dots and strokes.

Admission: £8.00
Date: From 18th June - 17th September 2008
Place: National Portrait Gallery St Martin's Place London WC2H 0HE
