This is the first ever exhibition dedicated to the Renaissance painter Francesco Pesellino. Active in Florence in the mid-15th century, Pesellino achieved a notable career but his early death at thirty-five and the difficulty of attribution have made him one of the greatest Renaissance painters that few people have heard of. This exhibition will seek to remedy that by presenting a monographic view of Pesellino’s achievements through his works in the National Gallery Collection and a number of key loans.

The exhibition runs from December 7, 2023 – March 10, 2024 at the National Gallery, Tralfalgar Sq, London, WC2N 5DS, UK.

This exhibition celebrates recent additions to the collection by British artists who worked across two centuries, from 1700 to 1900. Landscape is a focus here, with the genre becoming closely allied to the growing popularity of watercolor during this period. Around 1760, artists like Paul and Thomas Sandby, Francis Towne, and Thomas Jones began to explore the medium’s expressive potential. In the nineteenth century, dedicated watercolor societies were established and held regular exhibitions to promote their members’ work. Increasingly developed and poetically resonant compositions sought to challenge the preeminence of oil painting.

The exhibition can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028 from Dec. 7, 2023 – March 5, 2024.
