Royal Academy Highlights - Gallery

Thumbnail image of Clowns' Dressing Room, 1940. Creator: Henry George Hoyland.
We are delighted to share a selection of images from our valued content partner, the Royal Academy of Arts. Founded by King George III in 1768. It has a unique position in being an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects whose purpose is to be a clear, strong voice for art and artists. The Collection includes paintings by Joshua Reynolds, Angelica Kauffman, John Constable, David Hockney, Hurvin Anderson, Shirazeh Houshiary and Clare Woodsi; sculpture by John Flaxman, Elisabeth Frink and Cornelia Parker, prints and drawings from Thomas Gainsborough to Grayson Perry and Lubaina Himid. The Collection also amassed study collections of Classical and Renaissance painting, sculpture and architecture - masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s Taddei Tondo, his only marble sculpture in the UK, and The Last Supper, an early 16th century copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s work, as well as prints and drawings, and a magnificent collection of historic plaster casts of statues, busts and architectural reliefs.
