On loan from the Bank of America Collection 9 June – 22 August 2010 N.C Wyeth (1882–1945) was one of America’s finest illustrators – and he painted landscapes. His son, Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009), was regarded as America’s finest realist painter by the public but divided the critics. Andrew’s son, Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946), has carried on the family tradition. His work has its own colourful personality, and there are clear links with his father and grandfather. The Bank of America’s collection provides a full survey of all of these famous artists, while also giving a glimpse of the work of Andrew’s sister, Henriette Wyeth, and her husband Peter Hurd Made possible by

Presiding Genius: A Year of Masterpieces: Bicentenary Celebration
Paul Nash: The Elements Ends 9 May 2010 Paul Nash (1889–1946) painted beautiful landscapes of the Downs, strange flooded rooms, and classic images of two World Wars. The exhibition includes paintings, watercolours and photographs from the whole of his career, showing how he selected elementary objects, to put them in relationships of conflict or harmony, and found pathways, nests and thresholds between them and within them The exhibition is being supported by Delancy, Air Canada, The Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery, The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust, Daniel Katz Ltd., Offer Waterman, The Royal Historical Society Robinson Bequest
Salvator Rosa (1615–1673): Bandits, Wilderness and Magic Part of the Melosi series: Rediscovering Old Masters 15 September – 28 November 2010 Salvator Rosa invented novel allegorical pictures, fanciful portraits of romantic and enigmatic figures; macabre and horrific subjects; highly original and philosophical subjects. No other artist has created windswept landscapes of such emotional power, or figures of such dark intensity. Unlike Caravaggio, Rosa was truly a rebel, radical, anti-clerical, associated with libertine thought, and often in real danger from the Inquisition The exhibition has been supported by The Arthur and Holly Magill Foundation
One every month from January – December 2011 As a celebration of the Gallery’s bicentenary, during each month of 2011 a masterpiece will be on show at the end of Sir John Soane’s famous enfilade. Each work will be a showstopper borrowed from a major international institution with a historical link to the Gallery. This will include works by Velazquez, El Greco, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Ingres, Van Gogh, Constable, Domenichino, David Hockney and many others
