To mark 300 years since the birth of renowned eighteenth-century painter and co-founder of the Royal Academy Joshua Reynolds, Harewood House Trust is launching a brand-new exhibition for 2023, exploring his work and role in constructing power and identity through portraiture in the age of Empire.<br />Opening on Saturday 18 March, Reframing Reynolds will explore the painter’s work in a new light, through the lens of the portraits he painted of the Lascelles family who lived at Harewood. These works will be re-displayed in new ways across the State Floor, giving visitors the chance to get up close to some of Reynolds’ iconic works. The exhibition will disrupt centuries-old narratives, exploring and questioning the visual stories Reynolds told within his extraordinary paintings.
