Gainsborough's 'The Blue Boy'
25 January - 15 May
Thomas Gainsborough’s masterpiece The Blue Boy hung at The National Gallery for three weeks during the winter of 1922 as part of a leaving tour, before it journeyed across the Atlantic to its new Californian home. The then gallery director Charles Holmes mournfully wrote ‘au revoir’ on its reverse in the hope it would one day return. 100 years later, Gainsborough’s infamous work has temporarily returned to The National Gallery where it will hang in room 46 until May.
Where: Room 46, The National Gallery.
When: Until 15 May 2022.
Tickets: Free admission.
