Text by Mark Hallett, Sarah Victoria Turner, Jessica Feather.
From the 18th century to the 21st, the Royal Academy of Arts in London has occupied a prominent, sometimes controversial and always individual position in the art world. Its Annual Exhibitions, now known as the Summer Exhibitions, have seen artistic reputations rise and fall, and its enduringly popular international loan exhibitions have helped to shape the public’s appreciation of the visual arts. As it celebrates its 250th year, the Academy continues to be governed and run by artists. Packed with illustrations, this concise introduction to the Academy’s 250-year story considers the people, places and events that have made the Academy such a unique institution.
Professor Mark Hallett is Director of Studies at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and author of Reynolds, Portraiture in Action (2014). Dr Sarah Victoria Turner is Assistant Director for Research at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. Dr Jessica Feather is an Allen Fellow at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
