The Burlington Magazine - n°1477 vol CLXVIII - April 2026
The April 2026 issue of The Burlington Magazine presents a wealth of new scholarship, highlighted by significant discoveries regarding the 'Rainbow' portrait of Queen Elizabeth I and a previously unpublished portrait of Sarah Churchill by Godfrey Kneller. The edition spans centuries of art history, featuring research on 18th-century color theorist Mary Gartside, the pottery windows of William Bell Scott, and newly identified drawings by Marcellus Laroon the Younger.
This issue underscores the magazine's role as a critical vessel for provenance research and art historical attribution. By featuring reviews of major exhibitions on the Medici's wax arts and the European art market's history, alongside an obituary for the esteemed art historian Christopher John White, the publication continues to document the evolving academic and institutional landscape of the visual arts.
