The second edition of Master Painters & Pioneers continues on the strength of an exhibition that, in 2025, drew hundreds of visitors and reminded us how much appetite there is for pictures of real ambition shown in the company of one another. The works this year provide a conversation between British and European painting from the Regency to the eve of the Second World War, across the pioneering moments at which one tradition turned, opened, or quietly broke into another. Comprising artworks primarly from private collections, including Thomas Rowlands, Edward Burne-Jones, James Jacques Tissot, John Atksinon Grimshaw, Philip Wilson Steer, Alfred Sisley, Henri Martin, F.C.B. Cadell, Alfred Munnings and Mark Gertler.
