Contemporary Artists inspired by London Museum Collections
Moretti Fine Art is delighted to announce the exhibition 'Marcos Lozano: A Reflection on Time for the National Gallery’s Bicentenary'. This year marks the 200th anniversary of The National Gallery, London, and in tribute to this occasion the gallery will present a selection of 13 oil works by the contemporary artist Marcos Lozano. Each of them echoes 13 paintings belonging to the collection of the London Institution, offering both a unique juxtaposition of time-honoured classics yet historical and contemporary interpretations.

The Society of Antiquaries of London will be showing an exhibition by contemporary artists Adam Dant, who draws our maps, and Dan Llywelyn Hall inspired by the collection of the Society, celebrating 150 years at Burlington House.

Frames
Paul Mitchell are leading specialists in the framing of Old and Modern Master paintings and graphic works of art. During London Art week, company directors Paul and Mark welcome visitors to see their unique collection of European picture frames.

Following their recent webinar with frame historian Lynn Roberts discussing the framing of Impressionist pictures, they will also be exhibiting original frames designed by Degas and one of Degas's key patrons, Count Isaac de Camondo, including a specific frame used by Monet. Sadly, only a fraction of Impressionist paintings remain in their original frames, as dealers succumbed to reframing them in styles appealing to wealthy 19th / 20th century American collectors to hang in their newly built mansions. Their frames had to harmonise with revival style Renaissance, Baroque or Rococo interiors, regardless of their suitability for the artworks.

Over the past 46 years, the Paul Mitchell gallery has reframed numerous Impressionist works for museums, private clients and auction houses, rectifying and transforming their appearance.

Auction Houses
Bonhams, Christie’s and Sotheby’s are all part of London Art Week. Their Old Master and Classic auctions take place alongside the dealers’ exhibitions.

Among highlights coming to the rooms this summer is a large work by John Roberts Cozens of the lake and town of Nemi, made on is first trip to Italy in 1776-1779. Of the five recorded versions of this composition the present one is nearly double the size of the other variations, likely intended as a challenge to the popular notion that oil paintings were in some way superior to watercolours and demonstrated that landscapes painted on paper could be every bit as eloquent, technically impressive and valid as their counterparts on canvas.
