This exhibition celebrates the publication of definitive, six-volume edition of the artist’s correspondence (see p49). The Van Gogh Museum is marking the book launch by showing 120 letters, nearly all from the family collection. These are rarely exhibited, for conservation reasons, and never have so many been on show before. Three recently acquired letters with sketches addressed to Van Gogh’s artist friend Emile Bernard are being lent by the Morgan Library in New York.
Presented in the museum’s original Rietveld building, the letters are shown alongside paintings from the permanent collection. Altogether there are 340 artworks, including The Potato Eaters and The Bedroom. Light levels will be lowered for the works on paper, with the paintings spotlit, giving a different feel to a museum that is normally filled with daylight. The display of letters will also flow over into the print gallery.
Some of the letters include small drawings (above). Once Van Gogh became a full-time artist he would make rough sketches of his pictures to show his brother Theo what he was working on. The letters, mostly in Dutch and French, provide an intimate and revealing account of his development as an artist.
Another show (with almost completely different artworks) will be presented at the Royal Academy, London (“The Real Van Gogh: the Artist and his Letters”), from 23 January-
18 April 2010. Martin Bailey

A survey of symbolist artist Paul Gauguin opens at the Cleveland Museum of Art before it travels to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam next year. The show partially recreates the exhibition that Gauguin and his contemporaries independently organised in the Café Volpini, Paris, during the Exposition Universelle, or World’s Fair. Around 75 works from that show are reunited for the first time in more than a century, along with works on paper, woodcarvings and ceramics.

The “Master of Swish” receives a major exhibition in his hometown of Ferrara, focusing largely on works created by the artist in Paris between 1871 and 1886. This show explores how impressionists such as Manet, Degas, Meissonier and Caillebotte influenced the early work of the Italian, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Belle Epoque portrait painters of 1890s Paris.
Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931) moved to Paris in 1871, settling in the Place Pigalle, an area popular with artists and writers. He quickly became accustomed to life in the French capital and befriended leading artists of the day including Degas, whom he often accompanied to the theatre and concert halls. It was a prolific and highly experimental period for Boldini, during which he created pieces in several genres including portraiture and landscapes. On view are 100 works of various genres drawn from international public and private collections.
The show opens with an early self-portrait made in Florence in 1865 while he was a student at the Accademia di Belle Arti. On loan from the Modern Art Gallery at the Pitti Palace, the painting shows Boldini’s modern take on portraiture by depicting himself in his study rather than opting for a neutral environment.
The exhibition is organised into thematic sections including: fanciful paintings created specifically for the American and European art markets; cityscapes that record modern life; landscapes; scenes that capture the vibrant nightlife of Paris including a painting of a singer entiled, La Cantante Mondana, about 1884; scenes of his atelier, including A Woman in Black, about 1888; and finally, for what Boldini is by far best remembered—portraiture. The show ends with his society portraits. Like Sargent, Boldini counted the crème de la crème of high society among his patrons. An 1894 portrait of socialite and author Gertrude Elizabeth Blood, Lady Colin Campbell is on loan from the National Portrait Gallery, London.
After its debut in Ferrara, the exhibition will travel across the pond to the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts (14 February-25 April 2010). The US presentation will be the first major display of Boldini’s work outside Europe. E.S.

It is a commonplace that some artists reach in their old age a “late style” characterised by loose, free expression and a distillation of experience (for example, Michelangelo and Titian) while others wither and decay (for example, Pontormo and Domenichino). Botticelli is reckoned, however, to have taken a different trajectory by turning, in his old age, from a mature style and content to the manner and concerns of his youth.
The life and work of Sandro Botticelli is, like Caesar’s Gaul, divided in partes tres: his Florentine early training and career, from his birth in 1444/45 to around 1478, covering the years of his apprenticeship under Fra Filippo Lippi and in which he produced works such as St Sebastian, 1473-74, and a number of frescoes in Florence and Pisa, most of which are now lost. During the years of his maturity, around 1478 to 1490, he painted most of the works for which he is famous: frescoes in Florence and Rome, altarpieces, portraits, allegories and mythological narratives. Here he perfected his personal style, perhaps best described as a combination of International Gothic and classical prototypes, an assimilation of the stile nuovo and antico, in which figures are presented in supple contours, contrapposto, graceful proportions, most memorably exemplified in the Primavera, around 1478, and The Birth of Venus, 1482-86. This high courtly style also informed his religious paintings (shown, The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child, about 1490), which may have incurred the censure of the charismatic Dominican reformer, Girolamo Savonarola, who, it is believed, came to influence Botticelli as, from the 1490s until his death, the artist turned back to the simplicity and affective expression of his early work. This maniera devota, inspired by moral and religious sentiment, resulted in works such as the Mystic Nativity, around 1500, and the illuminations for a luxurious, unfinished manuscript edition of The Divine Comedy, 1490s.
Following his death, Botticelli fell from favour and it was not until 19th-century art historians began to resurrect and elevate Florentine artists that he came again into favour. This process was initiated mainly by German art historians and collectors: the Berlin museum acquired the St Sebastian and the Bardi altarpiece in the 1820s; Walter Ullmann produced the first Botticelli monograph in 1893 and Aby Warburg produced his influential dissertation in the same year. Thus it comes as something of a surprise that this is the first Botticelli show to take place in the German-speaking world (pace the exhibition of the Divine Comedy illuminations in Berlin in 2000-01). The exhibition is curated by Andreas Schumacher, the director of the pre-1800 Italian, French and Spanish paintings collections, and is the first in line to celebrate the quincentenary of the artist’s death (1510). The show, like Botticelli’s life, is in three parts: his portraits and allegorical paintings, the mythologies and, finally, his religious œuvre. Although many of the works have recently been seen in the shows at the Palais de Luxembourg (2003-04) and at the Palazzo Strozzi (2004)—the fragility, the renown and the limited number of his works make it impossible to transport many of them—this exhibition includes workshop pieces and drawings from private lenders never seen before in public. Special attention is given to the unrequited love Botticelli bore for the celebrated beauty Simonetta Vespucci (around 1453-76), wife of a Florentine nobleman, who is thought have been his model for his Venuses (and with whom he was buried), and to his works commissioned by the Medici. In addition to the 40 Botticelli paintings, there are 40 by Verrocchio, Antonio del Pollaiuolo and Filippino to put Botticelli’s work into a historical context. The show is sponsored by the Commerzbank-Stiftung with support from Alnatura Produktions- und Handels, the Italian National Tourist Board, Weleda and Ikarus design. The catalogue is edited by Dr Schumacher and published by Hatje Cantz (€49.80).

From the age of 24, the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) lived for the most part in Dresden where he quickly absorbed at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste the great Saxon tradition of drawing from nature, as well as the technique of sepia drawing, the two basic techniques that underpinned his painted work which he began in 1807. This show features more than 60 works on paper by the artist, including gouaches and watercolours, curated by Christina Grummt, a fellow of Stiftung Alfried Krupp, Greifswald, who is also compiling the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s drawings. The aim of the exhibition is to relate the drawings to Friedrich’s painted works, showing how he progressed from plein-air studies to the final works. To do this, the works are grouped according to his frequently repeated motifs such as architecture and ruins, and trees. The works are on loan from those German state museums where most of Friedrich’s works are found today: the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremburg, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin-Preussicher Kulturbesitz, Berlin, and the Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, as well as other collections.

Towards the end of the 18th century, Edmund Burke summed up Mrs Delany as “a real fine lady, the model of an accomplished woman of former times”, a succinct and just verdict: Mary Delany, née Granville (1700-88), was the epitome of sense and sensibility. A niece of George Granville, First Baron Lansdowne, she was a friend of Handel, corresponded with Swift, was entertained by Garrick, courted by John Wesley, discussed botany with Banks and Solander, studied drawing with Hogarth, flower drawing with Ehret, painting with Goupy, her collages were praised by Reynolds, and her portrait was painted by Opie.
At the age of 17, she had entered into a loveless arranged marriage with Alexander Pendarves, MP, 40 years her senior. When he died in 1724, she moved to London where she began to create a circle of friends and acquaintances and to perfect her talents as an artist, writer and needlewoman. Following an introduction in 1776 to King George III and Queen Charlotte, she moved to a small house in Windsor, provided by the royal couple, to facilitate frequent visits.
This exhibition, created in collaboration with Sir John Soane’s Museum (whither it travels, 18 February-1 May 2010), consists of 130 objects that belonged to or were associated with her: drawings, embroidery, shell-work, botanical specimens, manuscripts and, above all, her découpages—extraordinary illustrations of plants and flowers, made entirely of colour paper.

One of the museum’s most popular canvases, a monumental triptych of Monet’s garden pond at Giverny, is the centrepiece of this show, which brings together all of the impressionist’s late works in the collection. Other paintings on view include The Japanese Footbridge, 1920-22, and Agapanthus, 1918-19, as well as loans from other museums. Organised by MoMA’s chief curator of painting and sculpture, Ann Temkin, the display opened at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta this summer as part of an ongoing collaboration between the two institutions, with support from Bank of America.

Paintings from the Hague School (1860-90) are here presented alongside documentary photographs, both of which point to the impact that the industrial revolution had on the 19th-century rural Dutch landscape. The exhibition reveals, through more than 90 paintings and photographs, the landscape that has gradually become overtaken by Dutch industrialisation. The works are supplemented by a film by Bert Koenderink about the industrial revolution that informs the landscape painting of the time.
The paintings and photos have been gathered from the collections of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and the Neue Pinakothek, Munich. The exhibition capitalises on the partial closure for renovation of the Rijksmuseum to secure loans that make up a large part of the display. Aside from paintings and photographs, other historical material is presented, such as railway maps, that further illustrate the evolution of the Hague School’s native landscape.
A large part of the photographic material comes from Johann Georg Hameter (1838-85). Hameter presented work at the first exhibition of photography in the Netherlands in 1855 and his photographs on show here tell us as much about early photography as they do about the rapidly industrialised landscape.
