Description: | Artists traditionally used the Royal Academy's Varnishing Day to touch up and varnish paintings in the galleries just before the Summer Exhibition opened to the public. Frank Emanuel's ink drawing shows academics and visitors mingling while artists, some on high stepladders, make final improvement to their works.
London-born Emanuel was a painter, etcher, illustrator, and writer. He studied at the Slade School and at the Acad��mie Julian in Paris.
By the time he produced this work, Emanuel already had inside knowledge of Varnishing Day. He exhibited at the Royal Academy 38 times between 1885 and 1939. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | Art and Design | Temporal: | 1907 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
