We're joining @RCT for #ShareYourMasterpiece! We'll share masterpieces from our collection to celebrate the new #Masterpieces exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery. 🖼️
First up- our beautiful 'Pastoral Landscape' by Claude Lorrain, 1645 - bright & fresh after recent conservation.
Poet @JasmineGardosi and artist @laura_onions led two heartwarming student workshops with us during @unibirmingham's #WelcomeWeek2020.
Thanks to everyone who came along! ✨ We hope to see you again soon. Poem extracts by Jasmine Gardosi; prints by Laura Onions.
'The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.' - Aristotle. #WednesdayWisdom
Johan Christian Dahl's 'Mother and Child by the Sea' might be one of our smallest paintings, but it holds a great significance to many people.
It's Tuesday afternoon - and time for another 10-minute podcast episode to accompany your coffee break.☕
Today, Robert Wenley, our Deputy Director, takes a look at Salomon van Ruysdael’s 'A Cavalry Travelling through a Wooded Landscape' from about 1658.

One of the smallest oil paintings in our collection, 'Mother and Child by the Sea' is a favourite of many visitors. We could be looking at a childhood memory of Norwegian painter JC Dahl - his father was a fisherman.

‘Fine art is knowledge made visible.’ - Gustave Courbet.
He painted our spectacular 'Sea-Arch at Étretat' in 1869, creating the rugged cliffs using a palette knife. 🌊 #WednesdayWisdom

‘The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing’ - Eugène Delacroix. #WednesdayWisdom
The energy and vitality of 'A Wild Horse' (1828) conveys its untamed nature. 🐎
Do you think perfection can be achieved in art?

American artist George Bellows was born #onthisday in 1882. 🎈
He was tutored by painter Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. Our lithograph, 'The Life Class', illustrates his immersion in a vibrant, chaotic and collaborative teaching space.

Bringing the seaside to your house! ☀️
Courbet spent a summer painting the spectacular cliffs at the popular Etretat resort in 1869, working quickly outdoors.
The only sign of humanity is a boat, waiting where the sand meets the sea. 🌊
