Dulwich Picture Gallery: Prud’hon

Earlier this year, we covered the opening of a temporary exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery looking at the little known artist Pierre Paul Prud’hon. This French painter is known for painting Napoleon’s wife Josephine but the exhibition focussed on his drawing, predominantly on blue/grey paper.

These delicate pictures were incredibly beautiful and it was fascinating to hear Dr Xavier Bray and Sorcha Ni Lideadha exploring these unique images.

Dulwich Picture Gallery: 2015 Exhibitions Preview

Last year ended with a visit to one of our favourite places, Dulwich Picture Gallery, where we met the director, Ian Dejardin, who told us what was coming up at the gallery in 2015. We then met all the curators of the exciting exhibitions which you can hear about in the video below.

I am particularly interested in the Escher exhibition, being one of the many many students who was taken by his graphic mind bending imagery – I can’t wait to see the originals in the gallery. I’m sure there is something for everyone at the gallery this year including a very unique and interesting challenge…
