Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria

A hundred Victorian paintings of soldiers, and the moment artists stopped painting only the generals.

HistoryArt & designFree

At National Army Museum.

Over a hundred rarely shown works from the museum's collection with loans from the Royal Collection and the National Portrait Gallery, on how the painters of Victoria's reign turned from commanders to ordinary soldiers. Lady Butler, the era's leading battle painter, who said she painted not the glory of war but its pathos and heroism, gets the prominence. Free.
