"The Courtauld Gallery might be relatively small compared to some of London's other major art institutions, but boy does it punch above its weight. Founded in 1932 by art collector Samuel Courtauld, the gallery boasts a genuinely jaw-dropping collection of paintings and drawings dating from the Middle Ages through to the modern day, with a particularly impressive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art."
"The 2026 season kicks off with A View of One's Own (Jan 28-Jun 14),an exhibition exploring the oft-overlooked contributions of female artists to Britain's golden era of landscape painting. Showcasing watercolours and drawings created between 1760 and 1860, the exhibition features ten artists ranging from accomplished amateurs to those ambitious for recognition, including Harriet Lister, Mary Lowther, Amelia Long and Elizabeth Batty."
The Courtauld Gallery holds a distinguished collection from the Middle Ages to the modern day, with notable strengths in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. The gallery pairs a strong permanent collection with a high-calibre temporary exhibition programme. The 2026 season opens with A View of One's Own (Jan 28–Jun 14), which presents watercolours and drawings from 1760–1860 by ten female artists, from skilled amateurs to those seeking recognition. Seurat and the Sea (Feb 25–May 17) is the first UK Seurat exhibition in 30 years and gathers more than 20 seascapes, oil sketches and drawings from his summers on France's northern coast. Summer programming will include a Hepworth presentation.
