Королевская академия художеств

Вестминстер

Королевская Академия художеств — наиболее влиятельная и авторитетная ассоциация художников Великобритании. Занимает Бёрлингтон-хаус на Пикадилли — палладианскую резиденцию графа-архитектора Бёрлингтона Основана в 1768 году — 10 декабря этого года были утверждены первые 40 членов Академии. Первым президентом Академии был избран Джошуа Рейнолдс. В настоящее время состав Академии ограничен 80 местами, из которых 14 зарезервировано для скульпторов, 12 — для архитекторов и 8 для граверов; остальные 46 занимают живописцы. Новые академики выбираются действующими членами Академии. Основой деятельности Академии являются ежегодные публичные выставки. По правилам, участвовать в них могут не только академики, но и любой желающий художник, для чего необходимо подать работу на рассмотрение конкурсной комиссии. Многие работы на ежегодных выставках продаются. Наряду с работой постоянно действующего музея Академии ежегодные выставки являются одним из основных источников дохода Академии — это важно, поскольку Королевская Академия художеств по своему статусу не принимает финансовой поддержки от государства или короны. Тем не менее, дом на Берлингтон-хаус, находящийся в собственности правительства Британии, передан Академии в номинальную аренду на 999 лет, что является существенной субсидией. Среди членов Академии были такие выдающиеся британские художники, как Томас Гейнсборо, Джозеф Тёрнер, Томас Филлипс, Джон Констебл, Джон Эверетт Милле, Джордж Клаузен и др. В 1948 году Почётным членом Королевской академии стал Уинстон Черчилль. При Королевской Академии художеств существует и училище, в котором также учились крупнейшие художники, в том числе Тёрнер.

Paisley Museum and Art Galleries

Пейсли

Paisley Museum and Art Galleries is currently closed for refurbishment and is due to reopen late 2022. It is a museum and public art gallery located in the town of Paisley and is run by Renfrewshire Council. It houses one of the largest municipal art collections in Scotland, including over 800 paintings.The Museum and Art Galleries were gifted to the town of Paisley by the industrialist Sir Peter Coats in 1871. The building, which also houses Paisley Library and the Coats Observatory , was designed by Glasgow architect John Honeyman of the firm of Honeyman and Keppie. The first curator of the Museum was the entomologist Morris Young who remained in post until his death in 1897 leaving the Museum a bequest of £500 to be invested and the returns used to pay for the upkeep of the entomological collections and all his books. The museum has been extended on several occasions since it opened. There are plans for a revamp of the Museum to transform it into an "international-class destination" based around the Paisley's heritage story.The art collection concentrates largely on works by late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Scottish artists, such as the Glasgow School and the Scottish Colourists. In addition there is a contemporary collection which includes work by artists such as Steven Campbell and John Byrne, who was born in Paisley.The museum houses a collection of objects and documents covering the local history of Paisley and Renfrewshire, especially the importance of the textiles industry, tracing the history of the luxury shawl industry which developed in Paisley. The museum has recreated the work and a weaving using a traditional hand loom can be seen on site It also contains an archaeological collection which includes objects from Ancient Egypt and Babylon and an extensive natural history collection, the museum also houses the local biological records centre.One of the most important items in the Museum's collection is the Arbuthnott Missal which was presented to the Museum by another of the Coats family, Archibald. This missal is the only extant pre Reformation missal of the Scottish Use and in 2007 it was awarded a prestigious top award in the British Library's Hidden Treasures Brought to Life competition.The museum is currently closed to the public.
