For those that may be interested... from the Mall Galleries...
LANDSCAPES PAST AND PRESENT
There may be snow on the ground outside, but inside the Mall Galleries you
can bask in the warm Mediterranean glow of a collection of Dutch Italianate
paintings on loan from Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Shown in The Threadneedle
Space, they are hung alongside contemporary works by painters, photographers and
film-makers inspired by these seventeenth century works.
Memory & Imagination: Dutch Italianate and Contemporary
Landscapes opens tomorrow and is on until 1 March.
In the Main Gallery, the Federation of British Artists presents an exhibition
of the landscapes of modern Britain. From the hard lines of inner cities to the
flurries of green hills, a selection of artists capture views from across the
country. The British Scene explores what makes Britain so recognisable
that we can call each image home.
The British Scene opens on Thursday and is on until
16 February (closing 1pm on the final day).
