Exhibition Murillo at the Wallace Collection: Painting of the Spanish Golden Age 6 February – 12 May 2013 This exhibition highlights a splendid treasure of the Wallace Collection: an extensive group of paintings by the Spanish painter BartoloméEsteban Murillo, one of the greatest artists of the Spanish seventeenth century. They are all of religious subjects: depictions of the Holy Family, episodes from the Old and New Testaments and saints from the early Christian epoch to Murillo’s own day. Varying in format from a small preparatory sketch for an altarpiece, to large narrative and devotional paintings, they demonstrate Murillo’s exquisite manipulation of

brushwork and colour, associated particularly with his mature ‘warm’ (calido) style, and his powerful communication of human emotions. Exhibition talks every Thursday and the first Saturday of the month at 1pm
Displays The Westminster Treasure: History in Silver 1713 – 2013
Royal Masterpiece Loan
7 February – 28 April 2013
Thanks to the generosity of a private collector, visitors to the Wallace Collection can, over the coming months, admire a masterpiece of Baroque sculpture with a distinguished royal provenance.
The Wallace Collection will be displaying a unique set of silver inscribed boxes belonging to the Past Overseers’ Society, Westminster. The collection began in 1713 and, as ever larger cases were commissioned to hold the previous case, they were each covered with etchings of historical events, royal engagements and portraits. The silver is beautiful and the inscriptions are fascinating, intriguing and compelling. Come to the Porphyry Court to see three hundred years of idiosyncratic history continuing up to 2012 with the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.
The Rosewood Cabinet 1827–77 © The Past Overseers’ Society, Westminster
Until June 2013
The powerful composition in bronze, by the 17th-century Florentine sculptors Pietro and Ferdinando Tacca, shows the classical hero Hercules grappling with the river god Acheloüs, transformed into the form of a bull. It is one of a series of large bronzes depicting stories from the legend of Hercules, two of which, Hercules with the Centaur and with the Bull, are in the Wallace Collection. This superb cast of Hercules with the Bull, a brilliant depiction of combat between man and animal, first recorded in 1689 in the collection of the Grand Dauphin, son of King Louis XIV of France, left the royal collections during the French Revolution. On display in the Large Drawing Room. Display talks: 27 March and 10 April at 1pm
Conservation Display Commode, Jean-Henri Riesener, France, 1780
The Conservation of Marie-Antoinette’s Commode by Jean-Henri Riesener From mid-April 2013 This display examines the recent conservation treatment of a commode made for Queen MarieAntoinette and now back on show in the Study at the Wallace Collection. This remarkable chestof-drawers was made for the Queen’s most private room, her cabinet intérieur, at Versailles by Jean-Henri Riesener. Cabinet-maker to the French crown from 1774 to 1784 Riesener supplied more than seven hundred pieces of furniture to the French court. Exquisite pieces of furniture such as this enable us to glimpse
something of the beauty of Marie-Antoinette's original Cabinet intérieur, dismantled after only three years in favour of a more fashionable scheme. Display talks on 29 April and 24 May at 1pm
Treasure of the Month Highlights great works of art in the Wallace Collection
March
Bartolomé-Esteban Murillo, The Marriage of the Virgin, Spain, c.1660–70
April
The Avignon clock, France, 1771
The Marriage of the Virgin is one of Murillo’s finest paintings. The Virgin takes the hand of Joseph as their marriage is blessed by the high priest of the temple of Jerusalem, Zacharias. The Holy Spirit descends on the couple, and Joseph’s rod symbolically bursts into flower. A small, delicate work on a mahogany panel, it would have been intended for a private collection.
Gilt bronze became indispensable to the furnishing of rich French interiors in the eighteenth century, many bronziers achieving astonishing levels of accomplishment. Perhaps the most famous was Pierre Gouthière, who was responsible for modelling this extraordinary sculptural clock. Made as a tribute to the Governor of Avignon from the grateful townspeople in 1771, it is one of very few signed pieces by Gouthière.
Talks: Lucy Davis, 1 and 11 March at 1pm

Composite armour for the field and tournament, Parts variously Augsburg c.1525–35; Landshut c.1530–5; North German, possibly Brunswick, c.1540 It may look fearsome, but this armour was never worn as it is now. Made up of parts from different places, it was probably put together in Paris in the 19th century. Several of the pieces are very fine examples of the Renaissance armourer’s art; looking closely at their form and decoration offers us a glimpse of their fascinating story. Talks: Tobias Capwell, 10 and 28 May at 1pm

Lectures Samuel Beckett and Dutch Painting Friday 22 March, 6pm The Nobel-winning novelist and dramatist Samuel Beckett was a regular visitor to the Wallace Collection when he was living in London in the 1930s. He particularly admired the collection of Dutch paintings and made a record of those he saw in the notebooks he kept on visual art. This Godfried Schalcken, Girl lecture by Conor Carville Threading a Needle by Candlelight, Netherlands, will draw on those late 1670s, detail notebooks and others in the Beckett Archive at Reading University, to demonstrate Beckett's love for painting and the manner in which it informs his writing.
The Art of Wealth: The Huntingtons in the Gilded Age Monday 13 May, 1pm In this lecture Shelley Bennett will discuss her new book The Art of Wealth: The Huntingtons in the Gilded Age, which explores the story of an American family; Collis, Arabella, Archer and Henry Huntington. Their personal histories and tastes contributed to their accumulation of enormous wealth in the decades around 1900, which they spent on lavish art works that were then given to the public, a model set earlier by the Wallace Collection.
