Myths in the Making: National Gallery displays the spectacular Carracci Cartoons
By James Brewer
Gods and goddesses caught in amorous pursuit; mythical sea creatures frolicking around such quests; sea nymphs and putti (cherubs) in curious attendance. These, amid crashing waves, are the bold content of two extraordinary Renaissance works that have just gone on display at the National Gallery, London.
The compelling imagery fills what are known as the Carracci Cartoons (cartoon as derived from the Italian word cartone for a large...
José María Velasco: A View of Mexico, at the National Gallery

Solo exhibition: portraiture from Marta Lola Boros enlivens London arts scene
By James Brewer
She has been described as “femme fatale of the London/Polish art scene.” Warsaw-born Marta Lola Boros revels in being “Baroque and Gothic, creative and capricious” and here she is again, with her most ambitious solo show. She has far from expressed hitherto all she has to say, artistically speaking.
On March 25, 2025, Marta unveiled a new series of portraits of sitters including friends, and of herself “with a wave of long curls and Amy Winehouse...
Astonishing Things: The Drawings of Victor Hugo. Royal Academy highlights his fascination with castles – and with the Ocean
By James Brewer
Victor Hugo, the wonderfully prolific French writer, “is just as splendid as Rembrandt,” wrote Vincent van Gogh in a letter to his brother. Whether Vincent was referring to Hugo’s novels or to his many drawings on paper is unclear, but there was no doubt that Vincent discerned what he called “astonishing things.”
Hugo’s mystery-suffused sketches, many of which were not intended for the eyes of the public, were drawn a century and a half ago, from around 1856...
