Drawing the Italian Renaissance

The King’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh

17 October 2025 – 8 March 2026

A design by Leonardo da Vinci for a fantastical dragon costume is one of more than 80 drawings by 57 different artists that are on display as part of the widest-ranging exhibition of Italian Renaissance drawings for over half a century in Scotland. 

Drawings by Leonardo, Michelangelo, Titian and more are among 45 works going on display in Scotland for the first time as part of Drawing the Italian Renaissance at The King’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. 

Following a critically acclaimed showing in London, the exhibition explores the variety and range of drawings in this period, from preparatory studies for paintings and altarpieces to designs for sculpture and elaborate drawings which were made as gifts. Drawings were often discarded after they had served their purpose, with only a small proportion surviving, but the works on display have been carefully preserved in the Royal Collection for centuries, allowing them to be enjoyed almost as vividly as when they were created. 

Lauren Porter, curator of the exhibition, said ‘This is a remarkable opportunity to share so many of the Italian Renaissance drawings from the Royal Collection, with over half being shown in Scotland for the first time. As works on paper cannot be permanently displayed for conservation reasons, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity for visitors to view these drawings up close, giving a unique insight into the minds of the great artists who made them.’

Reflecting the continued importance of drawing today, the Gallery is hosting its first artist residency, in collaboration with Edinburgh College of Art. Edinburgh-based artists Phoebe Leach and Dette Allmark, both alumni of the School, will respond to the masterpieces on display by drawing in the Gallery throughout the exhibition. Their creations will form a changing display for visitors, who are encouraged to take inspiration and try drawing themselves, with materials freely available.

A highlight work on display is an example of one of Leonardo’s anatomical studies drawn from a real-life dissection. The double-sided drawing which shows the muscles of a man was created in c.1510–11 and shows his detailed, personal notes in his left-handed ‘mirror-writing’. 

Perhaps lesser known are the anatomical studies of Michelangelo, who reportedly conducted human dissections as a young man. On display for the first time in Scotland is his study of a male torso in pen and ink, which was likely drawn from a wax model made by the artist, which shows his ongoing interest in human anatomy later in life. This can also be seen in his highly finished black chalk drawing of the resurrected Christ, with the artist capturing the energy of the muscular figure rising from his tomb. 

Other striking figure studies on display include two works by Raphael: a vigorous drawing of Hercules slaying the many-headed Hydra, and a red chalk study of The Three Graces that was – unusually for the period – drawn from a nude female model. 

Scenes from mythology were common subjects for Italian Renaissance artists and are well-represented in the exhibition. They include drawings by lesser-known artists including Paolo Farinati’s design for a fresco showing the goddesses of fruit and agriculture. The drawing, which has not been on display before in Scotland, is inscribed with instructions for the artist’s assistants on the height of the figures, telling them they should be around three-feet-high but to ‘do it as you fancy when you are on the scaffolding.’

Other highlights on display include a drawing attributed to the Venetian artist Titian of an ostrich, believed to have been drawn from life, and Leonardo’s design for a dragon costume, which appears to house two men, in the manner of a pantomime horse. 

A series of portrait drawings and head studies show the range of subjects, materials, functions and colours of Italian Renaissance drawings. The distorted and tormented face of a grotesque mask sketched by Michelangelo, possibly a design for a sculpture, contrasts with the classical features of Leonardo’s red and black chalk drawing of a curly-haired young man which is displayed nearby, with both works on show for the first time in Scotland. 

After almost 120 hours of conservation work by Royal Collection Trust conservators ahead of the London exhibition, Bernardino Campi’s cartoon for an altarpiece of the Virgin and Child is on show for the first time in Scotland. The cartoon, a large-scale drawing made of four pieces of paper joined together, was originally used to transfer the drawing onto a painting’s surface. The conservation work involved painstakingly removing the drawing from its deteriorating canvas backing and supporting sections where the paper had become as delicate as lace. 

The Italian Renaissance saw the range and purpose of drawing greatly expand, resulting in some of the finest works of art in any medium. Michelangelo’s meticulous drawing A children’s bacchanal marks a highpoint of Renaissance draughtsmanship and is in perfect condition, allowing us to see Michelangelo’s mastery of the art of drawing.

BECKMANN

Städel Museum

December 3, 2025 to March 15, 2026

Max Beckmann's work emerged in a world marked by crises and upheavals, transforming these experiences into a visual language that continues to fascinate today. His drawings form the most intimate part of his oeuvre: like a diary, they document Beckmann's artistic development and simultaneously served as a medium for observation, image-finding, and even image-invention. The Städel Museum now focuses on these works, presenting around 80 pieces from all phases of his career—from previously little-known drawings to outstanding masterpieces. They offer direct and profound access to Beckmann (1884–1950), one of the most important artists of the modern era.

The Städel Museum possesses one of the world's most outstanding collections of Beckmann's work and has dedicated itself to collecting, researching, and presenting his oeuvre for more than a century. In 2021, the museum received a remarkable boost through important long-term loans from the collection of Karin and Rüdiger Volhard. This, along with the publication by Hirmer Verlag of the three-volume catalogue raisonné of Max Beckmann's black-and-white drawings—with which Hedda Finke and Stephan von Wiese have filled one of the last major gaps in research on Beckmann's drawings—provides the impetus for this retrospective exhibition.

The core of the exhibition consists of drawings from the Städel Museum's own collection, supplemented by loans from renowned international museums and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the British Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin), and the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig (Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig). Individual paintings and prints also offer insights into Beckmann's working process and the interplay of different media.

Philipp Demandt, Director of the Städel Museum, on the exhibition:

 “Max Beckmann, the Städel Museum, and the city of Frankfurt am Main have been closely linked for over a century. Despite the loss of almost all of the artist's works during the Nazi era, the museum today possesses a Beckmann collection of international standing. With the current exhibition, we are once again focusing specifically on Beckmann's drawings for the first time in over forty years. They open up a unique and fascinating cosmos of his work and make his artistic development directly tangible – not least thanks to the outstanding collaboration with Hedda Finke and Stephan von Wiese, the editors of the three-volume catalogue raisonné of his drawings.”

Curators Regina Freyberger, head of the Graphic Collection from 1800 onwards at the Städel Museum, Hedda Finke and Stephan von Wiese, authors of the three-volume catalogue raisonné of Beckmann's drawings, add: 

“The drawings are a key to Beckmann's work. Through drawing, he developed his distinctive visual language, captured what he saw and experienced, shaped his personal worldview, and transformed fleeting impressions into multifaceted, meaningful compositions. Over the course of his life, he produced more than 1,900 black-and-white drawings in pen, chalk, or pencil—not bound in sketchbooks—ranging from quick sketches to fully realized works. The exhibition presents a focused yet representative selection of these, which—supplemented by individual color works, prints, and paintings—makes the draftsman Max Beckmann vividly accessible.”

The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames

 For the first time in 120 years, The Courtauld Gallery reunited an extraordinary group of Claude Monet’s Impressionist paintings of London in the major exhibition The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames, ran from 27 September 2024 to 19 January 2025.

These ravishing works have never been the subject of a UK exhibition. Begun during three visits to the capital between 1899 and 1901, the paintings depict Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament. The series was unveiled in Paris in 1904 to great critical acclaim. Monet fervently wanted to show it in London the following year but the project fell through. The Courtauld Gallery will therefore realise Monet’s unfulfilled ambition of exhibiting this distinct group of works in London, just 300 metres from the Savoy Hotel where many of them were painted.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) is world renowned as the leading figure of French Impressionism, a movement that changed the course of modern art. Less known is the fact that some of his most remarkable paintings were made not in France but in London. They depict views of the Thames, capturing the river and its surrounding architecture as they had never been seen before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light, and radiant colour. Monet came to London in the wintertime, fascinated by the effects of the London fog, a phenomenon produced by the city’s heavy industrialisation in the 19th century. In London, the fog took on a particular density and a variety of hues that occurred nowhere else. Monet’s paintings are undoubtedly amongst the most significant representations of the Thames ever made and embody the complexity of his practice, 40 years after his debut, as he pushed the Impressionist approach to the extreme.

Monet started the paintings during his three long stays in London in 1899, 1900 and 1901 and finished them in his studio in Giverny, north of Paris. While he eventually painted almost 100 views of the Thames, his most ambitious project to date, the exhibition focuses on the smaller group of 37 paintings that were presented at the unveiling of the series in 1904. Monet completed these works as a unit specifically for their public display and he considered them the finest representatives of his artistic project. They constituted, in his eyes, the true ‘Thames series’. After the show, the paintings were dispersed, purchased by collectors in France and abroad. 

The exhibition The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames will feature 21 paintings, 18 of which were in the 1904 unveiling, in an unprecedented effort to recreate the display that Monet himself put together and the experience he wanted his audience to have seeing these extraordinary works.

The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Seurat and the Sea

The Courtauld Gallery

13 February – 17 May 2026

The Courtauld will present the first ever exhibition dedicated to the seascapes of the major French Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat (1859–1891). This ambitious exhibition will be the first devoted to Seurat in the UK in almost 30 years. It will chart the evolution of his radical and distinctive style through the recurring motif of the sea. It follows major Impressionist exhibitions at The Courtauld, such as Cézanne’s Card Players, The Morgan Stanley Exhibition: Van Gogh. Self-Portraits and, most recently, the acclaimed The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames, which was seen by a record 120,000 visitors.

The Courtauld holds the largest collection of works by Seurat in the UK. The artist is best known as the creator of the Neo-Impressionist technique, in which shapes and light are rendered by juxtaposing small dots of pure colour. Due to his early death at the age of 31, Seurat left a small body of work and exhibitions devoted to him are rare.

The exhibition will bring together 27 paintings, oil sketches and drawings from major private and public collections, made by Seurat during the five summers he spent on the northern coast of France, between 1885 and 1890. Working in port towns along the English Channel, including Honfleur, Port-en-Bessin and Gravelines, Seurat captured their seascapes and port activity in his distinctive Neo-Impressionist technique. He sought, in his words, ‘to wash his eyes of the days spent in the studio [in Paris] and to translate in the most faithful manner the bright clarity, in all its nuances’.

Giovanni Bellini’s “Pietà” Restored

From January 15 through April 19, 2026, the Morgan Library & Museum will display the painting Pietà (also known as Dead Christ Supported by Angels) (ca. 1470) by Giovanni Bellini (1424/26–1516), bringing this early Renaissance masterpiece to the United States for the first time. The exceptional loan of this masterwork from the Museo della Città in Rimini, Italy, follows a comprehensive conservation treatment made possible by Venetian Heritage, Inc. The painting will be on view in J. Pierpont Morgan’s study within the Morgan’s historic library, alongside some of the finest Renaissance art collected by Morgan himself, including paintings by Hans Memling and Perugino and sculptures by Antonio Rossellino.

“The Morgan is delighted not only to bring Bellini’s painting to the United States for the first time but also to unveil this masterpiece to the public following its eagerly awaited restoration, and for this we are deeply grateful to Venetian Heritage,” said Colin B. Bailey, Katharine J. Rayner Director of the Morgan Library & Museum. “Our presentation will allow visitors to the Morgan to see how Bellini drew inspiration from the Byzantine iconic tradition of painting the dead Christ, and gave fresh life to this devotional subject through combining a sense of deep spiritual emotion with a new humanist classicism.” 

Bellini’s powerful and melancholic Pietà shows youthful angels contemplating the wounds of Christ’s dead body as they arrange it for veneration. In contrast to other versions of the subject, the angels in this painting do not wail uncontrollably; instead, the work’s poignancy derives from their sad, pensive preparation of Christ’s body. Bellini spent the entirety of his long career in his native city of Venice, producing altarpieces, paintings for private devotion, portraits, and secular scenes. 

For small devotional works like this painting of the dead Christ, he built upon a long tradition of Byzantine icon painting well known in Venice. He also incorporated sculptural models and an interest in the forms of ancient Roman art, which he had learned from his brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna. The resulting style was distinctly modern but also timeless. 

This presentation will coincide with the exhibition Caravaggio’s “Boy with a Basket of Fruit” in Focus, creating a remarkable opportunity for audiences to experience two pivotal moments in the history of Italian painting. 

Caravaggio’s “Boy with a Basket of Fruit” in Focus

The Morgan Library & Museum will present Caravaggio’s “Boy with a Basket of Fruit” in Focus, celebrating the extraordinary loan of this important early masterpiece by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610) from the Galleria Borghese in Rome. On view from January 16 through April 19, 2026, the exhibition showcases what can be considered Caravaggio’s first masterpiece alongside a group of ten works that place the painting in context, from the artist’s influences to those he influenced. 

Trained in his native Lombardy, Caravaggio brought to Rome a tradition of naturalism that stretched back to Leonardo da Vinci’s work in Milan. He combined this tradition with a revolutionary approach to painting that shattered the illusion of art and celebrated the artifice of the studio. Boy with a Basket of Fruit (ca. 1595), in which these key elements of Caravaggio’s art come together for the first time, marks the beginning of a revolution in Italian painting.

“Caravaggio captures the imagination in a way that almost no other artist can,” said Colin B. Bailey, Katharine J. Rayner Director of the Morgan Library & Museum. “We are exceptionally fortunate to be able to bring this masterpiece from the Galleria Borghese to share with visitors in New York for the first time in the twenty-first century, accompanied by works that illuminate his impact on the field of painting.” 

“Boy with a Basket of Fruit marks a turning point in Italian painting,” said John Marciari, Charles W. Engelhard Curator, Department Head of Drawings and Prints, and Director of Curatorial Affairs. “It is a linchpin between the naturalism of Caravaggio’s sources and his radical interventions in exposing the artifice of painting. To see this painting in context is to understand the revolution it represents.” 

With his parted lips, flushed ears, and shirt slipping from his shoulder, the boy in the painting is far from the idealized figures typically depicted in Roman painting at the time. Caravaggio painted neither a god nor a saint, but an artist’s model, captured on the canvas and seemingly offered to us for examination, much like the fruit the boy presents to the viewer. 

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527–1593), Four Seasons in One Head, ca. 1590. Oil on panel. National Gallery of Art, Washington, Paul Mellon Fund

The exhibition juxtaposes this remarkable work with some precedents for its naturalism, including earlier paintings from Milan, such as Four Seasons in One Head (ca. 1590) by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527– 1593), on loan from the National Gallery of Art. 

Other precedents include Boy Drinking (ca. 1583) byCaravaggio’s slightly older contemporary Annibale Carracci (1560–1609). A significant loan from a private collection, this painting has never been on public view. 

Also exhibited are two works by Caravaggio’s early mentors and influences: a drawing by Simone Peterzano (ca. 1535–1599), who was the young Caravaggio’s teacher in Milan, and

Although Caravaggio would eventually turn away from preparatory drawings in favor of painting directly on the canvas, these works provide context for his training.

The installation also includes a selection of works that document the powerful impact Caravaggio had on Roman art, including.A Life Study: A Monk Sleeping against a Pile of Books (ca. 1616) by Rutilio Manetti (1571–1639) and 

Bartolomeo Cavarozzi (1587–1625) Basket of Fruit, ca. 1620 Oil on canvas The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bequest of Errol M. Rudman, 2020, 2020.263.5.

Basket of Fruit (ca. 1620) by Bartolomeo Cavarozzi (1587– 1625). 

These show the ways in which the artists who followed Caravaggio continued to reveal the fiction of art, from highlighting the real-life models who sat for them to emphasizing the imperfections in the subjects of their still-life paintings. 

Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) Portrait of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, ca. 1632 Red chalk over graphite The Morgan Library & Museum, IV, 176. Photography by Steven H. Crossot. 

The exhibition concludes with the Morgan’s remarkable portrait drawing of Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1577–1633) by Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598–1680). Borghese, the collector largely responsible for the Galleria Borghese, was the early owner of Boy with a Basket of Fruit, which has been part of the Borghese collection since 1607. 

Caravaggio’s “Boy with a Basket of Fruit” in Focus is curated by John Marciari, Charles W. Engelhard Curator, Department Head of Drawings and Prints, and Director of Curatorial Affairs.

Masterpiece by Claude Lorrain on public display for first time in 100 years

 

Image credit: Claude Lorraine, 'Les Bergeres Musiciens - Pastoral Landscape with Shepherds Playing Music by a River ', oil on canvas, c1637. From the Schroder Collection.o

The Holburne recently opened two new galleries, displaying works on long-term loan from the Schroder family collection. While the lower ground floor sparkles with Renaissance silver, a small but exquisite collection of paintings form the 17^th-Century Gallery on the first floor.

An undoubted highlight, Pastoral Landscape with Shepherds Playing Music by a River was painted around 1637 by the renowned master of the ideal landscape, Claude Gellée – better known as Claude Lorrain, or simply Claude (1604/5–1682).

Claude is widely credited with pioneering landscape painting, emphasising harmony, light and classical serenity. His work had a profound influence on the development of landscape art, particularly in Britain; J.M.W. Turner even bequeathed two of his masterpieces to the National Gallery on the condition they hung beside Claude’s paintings.

Largely self-taught, Claude developed his style through close observation of nature and light, sketching outdoors from dawn to dusk to capture atmospheric effects with remarkable sensitivity. The countryside around Rome was scattered with ancient ruins, which he often incorporated in his poetic and idealised landscapes.

Pastoral Landscape with Shepherds Playing Music by a River is recorded in Claude’s Liber Veritatis—a book of ink-and-wash drawings where he meticulously reproduced each of his paintings, often noting the buyer and destination, which is housed at the British Museum. The annotations on the page reveal that this picture was painted for Etienne Gueffier (1576-1660), French envoy in Rome, c1637-8.

The painting was last publicly exhibited exactly 100 years ago, at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Dr Chris Stephens, Director of the Holburne said: “This painting represents the most important individual loan in the museum’s history. There are few – if any – works of this quality outside London. It is thrilling for the Holburne and for Bath to house a display of such international standing.”

The painting by Claude is displayed in the Holburne’s new 17^th-Century Gallery, presenting highlights from a larger collection of 17th-century art assembled by Baron Bruno Schroder (1867–1940) and his wife between 1913 and 1928. Other works on display include portraits by Justus Sustermans (1597–1681) and Cornelis van der Voort (1576–1624); landscapes by Aert van der Neer (1603/4–1677) and Jan van Goyen (1596–1656); and an exquisitely decorated scagliola table attributed to Fistulator workshop, from the mid-17^th century.
