Society of Antiquaries of London Launches Fundraising Series
Library of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Burlington House.
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
From the press release, via Art Daily:
The Society of Antiquaries has launched a series of fundraising events Past Matters: Shaping Our Future at Burlington House in support of the Society’s bold vision to transform its historic home into a world-leading centre for the study of heritage. The talks series will take place from 28 October to 19 November 2025 with tickets now available to buy online. These autumn events will enable the Society to commission architectural plans to shape the Society’s future at Burlington House and increase access to the vast collections, expand the Society’s research and education programmes, and create dynamic new spaces for exhibitions, seminars, and events. This will ensure that Burlington House remains a place of inspiration, scholarship, and discovery for generations to come.
George Vertue, Lady Jane Grey, 1748, engraving.
Alongside the talks, Abbott & Holder (30 Museum Street, opposite the British Museum) will sell some early engravings by George Vertue for the Society of Antiquaries from 21 October until December 2025. Seven prints of the 18th-century engravings made from plates by the Society’s first official engraver, George Vertue (1684–1756), all duplicates with copies still part of the Society’s Collection, will be for sale with 65% of the sale price going to the Society. The enterprising Vertue combined his work for the Society with illustrious private commissions and the production of independent engravings, which he sold from his shop in Drury Lane. His ‘tablatures’ of historical royal portraits were ‘collected, drawn, and engraved from ancient original pictures’.
Natasha McEnroe FSA, General Secretary and CEO of the Society of Antiquaries of London, says: “Thanks to our kind sponsors so far we have raised £1.3 million (27%) of the £4.8m cost of the Society’s 999-Year Lease. We invite supporters to sponsor our home in square feet:£500 cover a square foot of Burlington House, while ‘Foundation 1707 Sponsors’ will sponsor four square feet of Burlington House with £2,000 (costs can be spread with monthly Direct Debits). Our supporters will all get a special ‘Bond of Support’ designed by British artist Adam Dant.”
All events cost £30 per person, with tickets available on the Society’s website. Geoffrey Munn’s Halloween talk can also be followed online at a cost of £6. The Society is collaborating with the St. James’s Hotel & Club for the Past Matters season and supporters are able to enjoy a special three-course lunch offer of £30 including a glass of bubbly and event attendees can exclusively enjoy a 20% discount on the exquisite art-inspired afternoon tea by showing their ticket confirmation. The hotel is just across the road in St James’s; pre-booking is essential and the offers are available until 30 November; they can be booked here.

Christine Stevenson | John Vanbrugh and the Art of Client Management
The Georgian Group, 6 Fitzroy Square, London, 21 October 2025, 6.30pm
The early eighteenth-country houses designed by John Vanbrugh (1664–1726), including Blenheim in Oxfordshire and the now-lost Claremont in Surrey and Eastbury in Dorset are, or were, remarkable for their bold forms and unorthodox ornament. Yet in one respect Sir John’s work was supremely delicate: the ways in which he persuaded clients that boldness and unorthodoxy were the most economical routes to displays appropriate to their status. His arguments are gossipy, funny, and often suspect. They present the architect less as a designer than as a hedge against financial and reputational risk. At the same time, they offer us a fascinating insight into the sometimes-fraught social and familial relationships in play when it came to spending money on a house. Georgian Group members, £15 / non-members, £18; tickets include a glass of wine.

Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture
Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, 4 March — 28 June 2026
Curated by Charles Saumarez Smith
300 years after his death, a major new exhibition exploring one of the UK’s greatest architects—Sir John Vanbrugh (1664–1726)—will open in the spring at Sir John Soane’s Museum. Some of the UK’s most admired and loved country houses like Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard were the result of Vanbrugh’s genius, becoming cornerstones of English Baroque. Soane cited him as one of his great influences, saying Vanbrugh had “all the fire and power of Michelangelo and Bernini.”
Curated by Sir Charles Saumarez Smith CBE and architect Roz Barr, the exhibition will feature never-before-exhibited drawings from the collections of the V&A, the Royal Institute of British Architects, the National Portrait Gallery, and Sir John Soane’s Museum, including many in Vanbrugh’s own hand. Perhaps overshadowed by contemporaries Nicholas Hawksmoor and Sir Christopher Wren, the emotional impact and imagination of Vanbrugh has continued to be admired, particularly by architects, in the centuries since. The exhibition will highlight Vanbrugh’s enduring architectural ideas and influence, including on two of the most influential architects of the 20th century, Robert Venturi (1925–2018) and Denise Scott Brown (b.1931). A new short film by filmmaker Jim Venturi, their son, will explore this connection and will be shown on loop in the Museum’s Foyle Space. Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture will introduce new audiences to the work of an English Baroque architect, adventurer, playwright, and spy 300 years after his death.

Book launch | John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture
The Wigmore Hall, London, 20 November 2025, 12.30pm
Charles Saumarez Smith will give a lunchtime talk on Vanbrugh’s extraordinary life: his upbringing; why he spent so much time in a French gaol; the writing of The Relapse and The Provoked Wife; and how he came to design Castle Howard with no previous experience of architecture. Saumarez Smith will give particular attention to Vanbrugh’s work as a theatrical impresario and the designer of the Queen’s Theatre, Haymarket, so disastrous as a venue for plays, but where all of Handel’s early operas were performed. He will then describe Vanbrugh’s quarrel with the Duchess of Marlborough and his later work as an architect, at King’s Weston, Claremont, Grimsthorpe, Seaton Delaval, and Stowe. In recent years, Vanbrugh’s reputation as an architect has been eclipsed by his subordinate, Nicholas Hawksmoor. This talk and the accompanying book will explain Vanbrugh’s originality and influence on later architects from Robert Adam to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown.

Egypt: Influencing British Design, 1775–2025
Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, 8 October 2025 — 18 January 2026
The mystery, romance, and aesthetic appeal of ancient Egypt has informed richly decorated Regency homes, Victorian factories and cemeteries, Art Deco cinemas, and twentieth-century houses, shops, and offices. This exhibition explores the British fascination with all things Egyptian through evocative drawings and books owned by Soane. Decorative objects including Wedgwood ceramics, Liberty Fabrics, and an Egyptian-style Singer sewing machine demonstrate the range of ways people have brought Egypt into their homes from Soane’s time to today.
This exhibition is accompanied by new work by Cairo-born artist Sara Sallam. As part of this exhibition, Sallam has produced A Tourist Handbook for Egypt outside of Egypt, Vol. II, London. Displayed in the Foyle Space in large scale, Sallam’s collages juxtapose photographs of London’s commemorative statues and imperial architecture with nineteenth-century paintings of correlating events in Egypt. Copies are available for purchase from the museum shop. Sallam’s second work, Eyes that Weep, Eyes that Pierce, is an audio tour, available exclusively on Bloomberg Connects, inspired by the sarcophagus of Seti I. Sallam invites you to listen closely to the Egyptian sky goddess Nut (seen inside the sarcophagus), her voice tracing the many eyes that have peered into Seti I’s sarcophagus across time.

Mary Linwood: Art, Stitch, and Life
Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, 13 September 2025 — 22 February 2026
A retrospective of the Leicester textile artist Mary Linwood (1755–1845)
Leicester’s Mary Linwood was a celebrity artist in the early 1800s but has since been largely forgotten. She created detailed embroidered versions of famous British paintings using a technique known as needle painting. Linwood was not only a talented artist but also an innovator and entrepreneur. Alongside running a successful school for young ladies in Leicester, she exhibited her embroidered works in touring exhibitions and established the first gallery in London to be run by a woman. In her lifetime, Linwood was supported by the wealthy and powerful, and was widely respected and well known. Since her death, however, she has been overlooked and undervalued. This exhibition is the first retrospective of Mary Linwood’s work since 1945, featuring 14 embroidered works from the Leicester Museums collections. Alongside these historic pieces are new textile artworks by Ruth Singer, reflecting on Linwood’s life and legacy.

Call for Papers | The Art of the Syllabus
From ArtHist.net:
The Art of the Syllabus
Centre for Research in Visual Culture, University of Nottingham, January — June 2026
Proposals due by 17 November 2025
Every year the Centre for Research in Visual Culture organises its seminar programme around a given theme. This year’s theme is The Art of the Syllabus, and for the first time we are inviting scholars to propose papers to present as part of our research programme from January to June 2026.
In histories of the teaching of art, photography, and art history, the syllabus is often sidelined. Teachers, students, institutions, even government policy: these are the threads usually pulled upon to tell this history. There is a logic to this marginalisation. Without a teacher, students, or an institution, a syllabus is redundant—a dormant document awaiting activation. Moreover, even though archives are filled with records of syllabi that have been activated, anyone who has been in a classroom knows that the syllabus itself is a poor record of what was discussed. At the same time, the syllabus captures a kind of pre-history of the classroom. It is a record of the best intentions of the teacher before the reality of the students (and the institution) intervenes. By using the syllabus as the starting point for our discussions, we are hoping we might capture the histories of teaching that never came to pass as well as those that did.
If our theme relates to your current research, we would like to hear from you. We are especially interested in hearing from scholars working on pre-twentieth century histories of art, photography, and art history pedagogy, although scholars of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries are of course welcome as well. We are less interested in hearing about completed research projects. Conversely, if you are at the beginning of a project that resonates with our call, please do consider working through your early ideas at the CRVC. Please send a short (250 word) blurb and (50 word) bio to chloe.julius@nottingham.ac.uk by 17 November. All of our seminars take place in person on Wednesdays at 4pm. Talks should be planned to run for 45 minutes to an hour, and will be followed by a lively discussion. Travel will be reimbursed up to £150.

The Image of the Black Archive: Past, Present, and Future
Online and in-person, The Warburg Institute, University of London, 7–8 November 2025
Organized by Hannah Lee and Maria Golovteeva
In 1960, Franco-American art collectors and philanthropists Jean and Dominique de Ménil initiated the Image of the Black archive. Originally begun in Paris and then expanded with an office in Houston, the research project was a response to the 1960s Civil Rights movement in the US. This two-day international conference brings together scholars who have contributed to the project over its history and those producing new research on the historic representation of African people in European and American art and culture. Attendance (online or in-person) is free with advance booking, though places are limited.
Keynote Speaker
Dr Adrienne L. Childs is an independent scholar, art historian, and curator. She is Senior Consulting Curator at The Phillips Collection. Her current book is an exploration of Black figures in European decorative arts entitled Ornamental Blackness: The Black Figure in European Decorative Arts, published by Yale University Press in 2025.
This conference is organised with the generous support of the Henry Moore Foundation, the Society for Renaissance Studies, and the Association for Art History.

Online Talks | Finding Moses Williams
Upcoming from The Library Company of Philadelphia:
Finding Moses Williams
Online, Wednesday, 19 November 2025, 1.00–3.30
Silhouette of Moses Williams, perhaps by Raphaelle Peale or by Williams himself, after 1802, 9 × 8 cm (Library Company of Philadelphia).
This program of illustrated talks by five speakers will focus on the identification of the exceptional hollow-cut paper profiles created by Moses Williams (1776–1830) at Peale’s Philadelphia Museum and on presenting new historically accurate information about Williams’s life and family. Moses’s parents were manumitted by Peale in 1786 and Moses, who was born enslaved, was then indentured to Peale by his parents until age twenty-eight
Raised within the Peale family, Moses was literate and trained in skills for creating and installing the Museum’s displays of art and natural science. After the installation of a physiognotrace device for creating hollow-cut paper profiles in 1802, Moses was freed and given the concession to operate this new attraction. The popularity of this inexpensive form of portraiture and the highly accurate and elegant profiles Moses cut, made him financially independent.
Recent research into Moses’s life provides us with a clearer understanding of his artistry and other activities, as well as his death date and the identity of his descendants. And, the story of Williams’s birth family illuminates how the practice of indenture used by Free Black families, like the Williams family, was a strategy for seeking financial stability.
A small selection of Moses Williams’s profiles will be on display at the Library Company during November and December and in the Peale Gallery at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The program is sponsored by the Library Company of Philadelphia’s Program in African American History and the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
