This summer exhibition shows work from Cornish collections by leading Royal Academicians past and present. The highlight will be John Singer Sargent’s portrait of Falmouth’s first Royal Academician, Charles Napier Hemy RA RWS.

Some of the Royal Academicians to ‘be hung on the line’ will be: John Opie, John William Waterhouse, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Sir John Arnesby Brown, Sir Frank Brangwyn, George Frederick Watts, Henry Scott Tuke, Eileen Cooper, Gary Hume, Ian McKeevor and John Hoyland. It will also feature work produced by children who may become the Royal Academicians of the future.
