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
