What’s On
September – November 2013
A Family Collection | A National Museum | An International Treasure House
The Wallace Collection is a national museum in an historic London town house. The collection was acquired principally in the nineteenth century by the third and fourth Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace. In the twenty-nine galleries are unsurpassed displays of French eighteenth-century paintings, furniture and porcelain together with superb Old Master paintings. A magnificent collection of princely arms and armour is shown in three galleries and there are further important displays of gold boxes, miniatures, sculpture and Medieval and Renaissance works of art. As part of our programme of room refurbishment the Great Gallery and European Armoury III will be closed until summer 2014. Major works of art are redisplayed in other rooms.
Treasure of the Month September
October
November
Cuirass, etched in the style of Daniel Hopfer, Germany, c.1523
Dagger with scabbard, India, c.1620
Daniel Hopfer was one of the great German Renaissance masters of the art of etchingselectively ‘biting’ designs and motifs into steel using acid. This cuirass was once thought to have been etched by Hopfer himself, however it is more likely to be the work of one of the many artists he inspired. Such works are important in helping improve our understanding of this master’s personal style, through comparison with the work of others.
This exquisite dagger, once owned by Claude Martin, is an intriguing example of amalgamated Mughal and European taste and craftsmanship. The rock crystal hilt is sumptuously embellished with birds, flowers and buds picked out in rubies with miniature tigers’ head quillons. This dagger, of a type frequently depicted in Mughal miniature paintings, gives a sense of the opulence and artistry of the Mughal court.
François Lemoyne, Time Saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy, France, 1737
Talks: Tobias Capwell, 2 and 26 September at 1pm
Talks: Francesca Levey, 1 and 29 October at 1pm
Lemoyne was one of the greatest French history painters of the eighteenth century. This allegorical painting is one of his greatest masterworks. It can be seen as his artistic testament: painted immediately after he had been nominated First Painter to the King and only finished immediately before his suicide, it encapsulates Lemoyne’s vision of painting and his own perception of his position in the French art establishment. Talks: Christoph Vogtherr, 4 and 18 November at 1pm

This display examines the recent conservation treatment of a chest-of-drawers Commode, Jean(commode) made for Queen Marie-Antoinette by Jean-Henri Henri Riesener, France, 1780 Riesener and now on display in the Study at the Wallace Collection.

This display is a unique collaboration between the Berengo Glass Studio, Venice, the London College of Fashion and the Wallace Collection. It features the work of major contemporary artists and designers, many using glass as a medium for the first time and shows selected works from a project created for the 55th Venice Biennale entitled Glasstress: White Light/White Heat.

Her approach to the organisation of ateliers and to the complex relationships between patron, designer, and craftsman has established a new standard for methodology not only in Baroque sculpture but also for the study of all early-modern European sculpture. In honour of her immeasurable contribution, the foremost scholars in the field of Italian Baroque sculpture will present papers in her honour.
