The exhibition Richard Wilson and the Transformation ofEuropean Landscape Painting is to be held at�the YaleCenter for British Art, New Haven, from 6 March to 1June 2014, and at the National Museum Wales, Cardiff,from 5 July to 29 October 2014.

Long known as the father of British landscape painting,Richard Wilson was, the exhibition contends, at theheart of a profound conceptual shift in Europeanlandscape art. With over 160 works, the exhibition andaccompanying publication not only situate Wilson’s artat the beginning of a native tradition that leads to JohnConstable and J.M.W. Turner, but argues that in Romeduring the 1750s Wilson was part of an internationalgroup of artists who reshaped European art. Rooted inthe work of great seventeenth-century masters such asClaude Lorrain but responding to the early stirrings ofneoclassicism, Wilson forged a highly original landscapevision that through the example of his own works andthe tutelage of his pupils in Rome and later in Londonwas to establish itself throughout northern Europe.

In addition to a wide range of oil paintings and works onpaper by Wilson, the exhibition includes works by ClaudeLorrain, Gaspard Dughet, Anton Raphael Mengs,Pompeo Batoni, Giovanni Paolo Panini, Charles-JosephNatoire, Claude-Joseph Vernet, Adolf Friedrich Harper,Johan Mandelberg, William Hodges, Thomas Jones,Joseph Wright, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

The exhibition is co-curated by Martin Postle, DeputyDirector of Studies at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studiesin British Art, and Robin Simon, Visiting Professor ofEnglish, University College London and Editor of TheBritish Art Journal.The exhibition catalogue, published by

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicesterand the World of Elizabethan ArtElizabeth Goldring

This book is the first comprehensivesurvey of aristocratic art-collectingand patronage in ElizabethanEngland, as seen through theactivities of Robert Dudley, Earl ofLeicester. One of the mostfascinating and controversial peopleof his day, Leicester was also themost important patron of painters atthe Elizabethan court. He amassed asubstantial art collection, includingcommissioned works by NicholasHilliard, Paolo Veronese andFederico Zuccaro; helped foster thebirth of an English vernaculardiscourse on the visual arts; and wasan early exponent, in England, of theItalian Renaissance view of thepainter as the practitioner of aliberal art and, thus, fit company forthe educated and well-born.Although Leicester’s collection andpersonal papers were dispersed afterhis death, this volume’s pioneeringresearch reconstructs his lost worldand, with it, a turning point in thehistory of British art.
