The paragone—an intellectual exercise current from about the middle of the 16th century until the early 18th—was an attempt to tease out the implications of a comparison of or a rivalry between the arts of painting and sculpture. Which better represented nature? Which could outdo nature? What were the various relations of these arts to nature? This exhibition of about 30 paintings depicting sculptural works, dating from the 16th century to the present, touches on the paragone, featuring in particular those works in which the model appears alongside the sculpture, typified by Titian’s La Schiavona, 1510-12, on loan from the National Gallery. The second half of the exhibition, featuring works by artists such as Hogarth and Vuillard, raises questions about the correspondences of and differences between two- and three-dimensional art.

The Milkmaid, 1658, perhaps the most celebrated painting by Johannes Vermeer, goes on Vermeer’s Masterpiece The Milkmaiddisplay in the US for the first time in 70 years. The work is being loaned to the Metropolitan Museum by the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, to mark the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage from that city to New York. The exhibition places the painting alongside all five of the Metropolitan’s canvases by Vermeer together with engravings and drawings illuminating the theme, as well as works by other Delft artists including Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, Hendrick van Vliet and Hendrick Sorgh, who were all active during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century.

This group show of works from the Tate Collection examines esoteric influences on the development of 20th-century art. It consists of works by artists including Derek Jarman, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, John Stezeker and Mark Titchner, tracing the links between the romanticism of the mythological and the forward thinking of modernity. It looks at mysticism and the occult in Britain, and their relationships with modernism, surrealism and neo-romanticism. Curated by the Tate St Ives’ artistic director Martin Clark, alongside curator and critic Michael Bracewell and artist Alun Rowlands, the show has been assembled thematically based around generational artistic influences, to give the viewer an understanding Clark felt would not be seen chronologically. Film screenings, and family events have been programmed to coincide with Halloween. Above, John Russell, Untitled [Fairie Poem], 2009. W.O.

Washington is awash with photography shows this month, starting at the National Gallery of Art (NGA), where a collection of portraits donated to the museum by the street photographer Robert Bergman are on view, many for the first time. “Robert Bergman: Portraits” includes 33 large-scale colour photographs of people Bergman met on the street in the 1980s. Also at the NGA is “In the Darkroom: Photographic Processes”, a show that traces the major technological developments in photography from early experiments by Henry Fox Talbot and the mass appeal of Polaroids to the highly manipulative medium of digital photography.
Over at the Phillips Collection is “Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens”, which presents around 100 photographs by Man Ray and his contemporaries, such as Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, and Alfred Stieglitz. Also on display are 20 African objects depicted in the images. H.S.
