National Gallery Exhibition: Turning Heads Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer

Please join us for a tour of this exhibition in the National Gallery. You can buy your ticket here

I will be in the cafe opposite the Gift Shop from 1 if you'd like to join me for a coffee first. We can also go there for another one after the exhibition if people like.
I'll wear a wooly hat with a bobble so you can find me.

On view in the Beit Wing from 24 February to 26 May 2024, this exhibition features works by Dutch and Flemish artists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who were exponents of the tronie – an intriguing painting of a head. Paintings include Study of an Old Woman by Rubens, The Laughing Man, 1629-1630, by Rembrandt and The Man with the Golden Helmet, c. 1650 from the circle of Rembrandt. Vermeer’s most exquisitely detailed tronie, Girl with the Red Hat, c.1665-1667, is an exhibition highlight
