Exhibition: Turner & Constable – Rivals & Originals

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other – Turner in 1775, Constable in 1776 – the art critics of the day compared their paintings to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

With the two painters vying for success through very different but equally bold approaches, the scene was soon set for a heady rivalry within the competitive world of landscape art. Turner painted blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels, while Constable often returned to depictions of a handful of beloved places, striving for freshness and authenticity in his portrayal of nature.

Marking 250 years since their births, this landmark exhibition explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies. Discover unexpected sides to both artists alongside intimate insights seen through sketchbooks and personal items.

Experience many of the artists’ greatest works, with over 170 paintings and works on paper. Highlights include Turner’s momentous 1835 The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, not seen in Britain for over a century and The White Horse 1819, one of Constable’s greatest artistic achievements.

This is a one in a lifetime opportunity to explore the careers of the two greatest British landscape painters, seen – as they often were in their own time – side by side (Tate Britain).

Exhibition: Juan Muñoz. Stories of Art

Juan Muñoz (1953–2001), one of Spain’s most influential contemporary artists, “returns” to the Museo del Prado, a place of inspiration that he frequently visited. Muñoz’s work reveals an ongoing conceptual relationship with Renaissance and Baroque painting with regard to the way in which he approached perspective, composition and staging. 

Curated by Vicente Todolí, former director of Tate Modern (2003-2010), Juan Muñoz. Stories of Art brings together installations, figures, books from the artist’s library, artifacts in the form of display cases filled with objects, canvases, drawings and prints. It will be presented in Rooms C and D of the Jerónimos building and several rooms in the Villanueva building until 8 March 2026. The works on display reveal the profound connection between the artist and the great masters represented in the Prado, such as Velázquez and Goya, as well as with the traditions of the Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque. In addition, further works by the artist have been allowed to leave the temporary exhibition galleries in order to be displayed more dynamically in rooms of the Permanent Collection (Room 12/Velázquez and Room 28/Rubens), in specific locations such as the South Staircase near the Murillo entrance, and in the exterior area in front of the Goya entrance. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the City Council of Madrid.

The exhibition presents a journey through the work of one of the most unique sculptors in contemporary art; an artist whose practice was marked by illusionism, theatricality and architecture as a space of fiction. Influenced by Borromini, Bernini, Velázquez and Goya, Muñoz created settings in which the viewer becomes an actor, witness and protagonist of scenes charged with psychological tension and mystery.
