In an interplay of light and darkness, Joseph Wright of Derby conjures sublime pictures of discovery and learning.
'Wright of Derby: From the Shadows' is the first major exhibition dedicated to the British artist’s ‘candlelight’ paintings. We celebrate and look again at his most admired works.
Illuminated faces gather around a variety of objects – from classical sculptures and scientific instruments to bones, bladders and animals. Through his unflinching scenes of people watching, Wright of Derby proposes moral questions about acts of looking. The strong light and deep shadows create drama, reminding us of great painters from earlier centuries like Caravaggio.

Best Things to Do

Jadesandhu

a great art gallery right by Trafalgar Square. gorgeous building with a variety of art works to enjoy including 3 Van Gogh paintings. not huge if you aren&rsquo;t doing the paid exhibits also but a nice way to spend an hour or so. cloak room available for &pound;2 per item but you can leave your bag there for as many hours as needed, as long as you collect by closing time. cafe and toilets available (although we didn&rsquo;t use as the queues were huge!). staff were very friendly and nice.

The layout and route of the British Museum seemed not very clear, but it became much clearer after following the tour guide. Diana&#39;s explanation was friendly and relaxed, and she was also very dedicated, and she was able to meet some personalized requirements of tourists. It was a worthwhile experience for first-time visitors.

Westminster Abbey

江苏无锡JC

Westminster Abbey is actually a collection of churches and cemeteries (royal and some celebrities). The building is magnificent and the interior is well maintained. It is worth a visit. The ticket purchased on Ctrip is convenient to use. You can enter by scanning the QR code at the entrance of the church. However, there are too many people and you have to queue for an hour before you can enter. The church provides Chinese audio guides for free.

This time I brushed it twice. This time I took my family to sit together. It felt really good overlooking half of London and the Thames. The only fly in the ointment was that the weather was not good enough, and the scenery was too far from sunny and cloudy.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
