In 1799 the family of Sir Robert Walpole sold his remarkable art collection to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. More than two centuries later these masterpieces, rarely seen outside Russia since that time, are returning to Houghton Hall in Norfolk. This handsome book, published by RA Publications, illustrates these superlative works hanging once again in the magnificent interiors at Houghton.
Thierry Morel uncovers the wonders of Walpole's collection, which includes paintings by Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt tracing its journey to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.
The fully illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition also explores Walpole's artistic tastes and collecting habits, and his beautiful house, one of the finest Palladian buildings in England.
An exclusive range of gifts accompanies the major retrospective of American artist George Bellows featuring iconic images such as New York and Stag at Sharkey's. Bellows enjoyed enormous popular success in early 20th century America, his subjects ranging from urban and rural landscapes, seascapes and portraits in a short but prolific life and career.
The RA online shop offers an exclusive range of luxury gifts, including many limited editions including the Terry Frost rug. You will find a wide selection from jewellery and accessories, creative toys and beautiful gifts for the home.
Every purchase supports the Royal Academy, an independent institution which receives no public funding, whose purpose is to promote the visual arts through education, exhibitions and debate.
