The National Galleries of Scotland’s summer exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy, travels through key themes from the extraordinary life of the Belfast-born artist.
With 90 artworks on display, visitors will be able to view sumptuous portraits, impressionistic landscapes and idyllic scenes of leisure against a backdrop of Tangier, St Jean de Luz, Palm Springs and more.
Discover visits to the races, tennis matches and the golf course, and journey through Lavery’s travels in North Africa, with mesmerising paintings of snake charmers. See his oil sketches for the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1888, where he was commissioned to paint the State Visit of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. Then explore his time during World War as an Official War Artist with scenes in hospitals, submarine pens and air raids.
A number of events related to the exhibition, including tours, lectures, concerts and workshops, are also available. For full details on all and to book tickets, go to An Irish Impressionist – Lavery on Location.
