Harewood House Reframing Reynolds Exhibition
- last year
To mark 300 years since the birth of renowned eighteenth-century painter and co-founder of the Royal Academy Joshua Reynolds, Harewood House Trust is launching a brand-new exhibition for 2023, exploring his work and role in constructing power and identity through portraiture in the age of Empire.
Opening on Saturday 18 March, Reframing Reynolds will explore the painter’s work in a new light, through the lens of the portraits he painted of the Lascelles family who lived at Harewood. These works will be re-displayed in new ways across the State Floor, giving visitors the chance to get up close to some of Reynolds’ iconic works. The exhibition will disrupt centuries-old narratives, exploring and questioning the visual stories Reynolds told within his extraordinary paintings.
