Wright of Derby: From the Shadows

Until May 10

First major exhibition of Wright of Derby's candlelight paintings at the National Gallery

"Beneath these scenes of educational family entertainment at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution there's a palpable sense of unease, or certainly a questioning, of the idea of the scientist playing God, and manipulating the rest of us in the process. These images couldn't be more painfully relevant to the age of AI, when technology appears in the process of rendering "humanity", in all senses, redundant."

Stubbs: Portrait of a Horse

Until May 31

Rare life-size Stubbs horse portrait 'Scrub' shown with key studies.

"A display case of Stubbs’s anatomical drawings are ghostly and strange. Here are spectral stallions, every, nerve, tendon and sinew turned inside out. More of these, please, and less of the tidy parade-ground pictures on the opposite wall."
