Tate Britain’s Lee Miller exhibition seeks to go beyond her mythology

Tate Britain is opening a major survey of American photographer Lee Miller (1907-77), running from 2 October 2025 to 15 February 2026. Curated by Hilary Floe, the exhibition aims to refocus attention on Miller’s artistic output rather than her storied personal life—her roles as a Surrealist, fashion photographer, war correspondent, and muse to figures like Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Cocteau. The show presents the UK’s largest survey of her work, deliberately selecting images based on artistic merit rather than biographical illustration.

Is Vermeer’s ‘The Art of Painting’ in fact a lost work?

Paul Taylor, a curator at London’s Warburg Institute specializing in 17th-century Dutch art, argues that Vermeer’s celebrated painting *The Art of Painting* (1666-68), housed at Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, may not be the work referenced in a 1676 legal document by the artist’s widow, Catharina. Taylor tracked 25 period descriptions of “de schilderconst” (the art of painting) and found they all depict allegorical personifications of painting, not studio scenes like Vermeer’s composition. He believes the document refers to a now-lost Vermeer that could still resurface.

Dog in Rembrandt’s The Night Watch was copied from widely available book, suggests new research

New research suggests that the barking dog in the lower right corner of Rembrandt's *The Night Watch* (1642) was copied from a title-page illustration by the Dutch artist Adriaen van de Venne. Anne Lenders, curator of 17th-century Dutch paintings at the Rijksmuseum, recognized the resemblance while visiting an exhibition on Van de Venne at the Zeeuws Museum. Macro X-ray fluorescence scans of the painting's underdrawing confirmed the similarity, though Rembrandt modified the dog's posture and added a tongue to make it appear alert and barking at a drum.
