Frenemies or rivals? Tate Britain show explores Turner and Constable's turbulent relationship

Tate Britain will present "Turner and Constable," a major exhibition spanning 2025–2026 that explores the intertwined careers and rivalry of J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) and John Constable (1776–1837). For the first time, a show is devoted to both artists, featuring historical reconstructions such as the famous 1831 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition pairing of Turner's *Caligula’s Palace and Bridge* (1831) and Constable's *Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows* (1829–31). Curated by Amy Concannon, the exhibition includes loans from private collections and rarely seen works, including Turner's *The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, 16 October 1834* (1835) from the Cleveland Museum of Art, on show in the UK for the first time since 1883.

The Frost Art Museum at Florida International University in Miami has opened "MOSAICO: Italian Code of a Timeless Art," an exhibition featuring ancient Italian mosaics, including fragments from a ship belonging to Roman emperor Caligula and 11th-century stone slabs from the tombs of Saints Benedict and Scholastica. These artifacts, on view in the US for the first time, are loaned from the Capitoline Museums in Rome and are presented alongside immersive digital projections by Magister Art that recreate sites like the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and the Basilica of San Vitale. The exhibition is organized by region, highlighting Unesco World Heritage sites and spanning techniques from the Hellenistic period to Roman opus sectile.
