The Art of the Tour: King Charles's Traveling Painters

King Charles III has sponsored an exhibition titled “The King’s Tour Artists” at Buckingham Palace, featuring 43 artists he recruited to paint during 70 royal tours over the past 40 years. The show, open until September 28, includes 74 paintings selected from over 300 works in the King’s private collection, alongside a companion book, *The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with The King*. The idea originated from Peter St. Clair-Erskine, the 7th Earl of Rosslyn, who catalogued the collection. Critics have dismissed the works as polite and old-fashioned, but the exhibition highlights Charles’s long-standing patronage of representational art and his own practice as a watercolorist.

Kent Monkman's exhibition "History is Painted by the Victors" is on view at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) through August 17, before traveling to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on September 27. The show centers on Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a fictional narrator who appears throughout Monkman's work to disrupt false narratives about Indigenous history and colonization.

As the Met’s Gorgeous New John Singer Sargent Exhibition Proves, There’s Much More to Madame X Than That Scandalous Strap

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has opened a major new exhibition, "Sargent and Paris," organized with the Musée d'Orsay, focusing on John Singer Sargent's formative decade in the French capital. The show culminates with his iconic portrait *Madame X* (1883–84), which caused a scandal at the 1884 Paris Salon when its jeweled strap appeared to slip off the subject's shoulder. Curator Stephanie L. Herdrich spent six years developing the exhibition, which includes approximately 100 works and aims to provide a more nuanced retelling of the painting's creation and impact. The exhibition runs from April 27 to August 3 at the Met before traveling to the Musée d'Orsay, marking the first monographic show of Sargent's work in France and the first time *Madame X* has been exhibited there in over 40 years.
