<br />
A major exhibition exploring the Scottish Enlightenment, Northern Lights,  opens at the National Library of Scotland on Friday 21 June.<br />
The exhibition takes a fresh look at one of the most concentrated periods of intellectual enquiry the world has ever seen, a time when polymaths peer-reviewed, challenged and encouraged one another’s work through the many social networks available to them.<br />
Household names connected with the Scottish Enlightenment such as David Hume and Adam Smith feature in the exhibition, as well as other figures less commonly associated with it such as Robert Burns and James Watt. A rare first edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica will be on display, as will a first edition of Smith’s Wealth of Nations and countless unique manuscripts.<br />
<br />

Keith Hartley is Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Galleries of Scotland.  His book, Andy Warhol & Eduardo Paolozzi – I Want to Be a Machine, offers a compare-and-contrast examination of two very different artists with much in common.  Illustrating their fascination with popular culture, it was only in the 1960s that the artists made the step to mechanical means to create their own artworks, resulting in the iconic images that are integral to our culture. As Warhol said of himself, there is only surface, with nothing underneath.<br />

For more than a century the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) have displayed an outstanding collection of Turner watercolours, from the 38 paintings bequeathed by Henry Vaughan in 1900. His will stipulated that the paintings should only be shown in January when daylight in Edinburgh is weak. The annual exhibition by artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery for the 7th year running. The focal point is a dramatic portrait of the Bell Rock lighthouse built by Robert Stevenson (1772-1850) which was commissioned 200 years ago by the lighthouse engineer to illustrate his book 'Account of the Building of Bell Rock Lighthouse'. Bell Rock is the oldest surviving rock lighthouse in the British Isles, first lit in 1811. It stands on a partially submerged reef near Angus, regarded by sailors as among the most dangerous places on the east coast of Scotland. The exhibition opens on New Year's Day at Scottish National Gallery and last for one month. 20 December 2018  <br />

Portrait of the Artist’s Daughter, Clara Serena by Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was probably painted about 1623, not long before the sitter’s tragically early death at the age of 12. This charming painting, which, after cleaning, has only recently been unanimously accepted as being by Rubens, has never before been shown in the UK.<br />

  • Hidden Gems opens at Edinburgh’s City Art Centre on 7 October 2017<br />
<br />
Showcasing 50 artworks from the City Art Centre’s collection that have rarely – and in some cases never - been seen before by the public, an exhibition opening at the City Art Centre this weekend (Saturday 7 October) will shine a spotlight on Edinburgh’s lesser-known treasures.<br />
<br />
Free to visit, Hidden Gems will include artworks by famous names such as Lucien Pissarro, Man Ray, Joshua Reynolds and F.C.B Cadell, as well as lesser-known figures such as Bessie MacNicol, John Sheriff and Cecile Walton. The display will also bring several new acquisitions to public view for the first time, including significant works by Scottish artists Morris Grassie, Anthony Hatwell and Nicol Laidlaw.<br />
<br />
Spanning over 200 years from the 18th century to the present day, this rich and eclectic selection of historic and modern art covers a range of media, from oil paintings and sculptures, to tapestries and artists’ books.<br />

The exhibition runs from 1 July - 29 October 2017 at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two) in Edinburgh<br />

  • Colourful illustrations that brought the wonders of South America to Europe in the early 18th century are going on display in a new exhibition opening at The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse tomorrow (Friday, 17 March). Marking the 300th anniversary of the death of intrepid German artist and scientist Maria Sibylla Merian, Maria Merian's Butterflies brings together some of the finest images of the natural world ever made, with more than 50 works going on display in Scotland for the first time.<br />
<br />
Among the works on display are luxury versions of the Metamorphosis plates, which were partially printed and then hand-painted onto vellum. The images were acquired by George III for his scientific library in Buckingham House (later Buckingham Palace) and are today part of the Royal Collection.<br />

  • A huge cherry tree fills the interior of an Edinburgh gallery as part of an anarchic new show. <br />
<br />
Standing more than eight metres tall and scraping the ceiling of the University’s Talbot Rice Gallery, the tree is the centrepiece of acts of display, a new exhibition from Glasgow-based artist Rob Kennedy.<br />
<br />
The tree was sourced from Edinburgh’s Inverleith Park. Over the course of the show the leaves will fall and litter the indoor space. <br />
<br />
The work is a response to two paintings owned by the University, one by David Teniers called Peasants Playing Bowls and a second anonymous copy which is missing a tree and a male figure from the original.<br />

Keith Hartley is Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Galleries of Scotland.  His book, Andy Warhol & Eduardo Paolozzi – I Want to Be a Machine, offers a compare-and-contrast examination of two very different artists with much in common.  Illustrating their fascination with popular culture, it was only in the 1960s that the artists made the step to mechanical means to create their own artworks, resulting in the iconic images that are integral to our culture. As Warhol said of himself, there is only surface, with nothing underneath.<br />
