This exhibition celebrates the recent acquisition, jointly with the National Gallery in London, of two outstanding mythological paintings by Titian (about 1485/90–1576). It draws on the Gallery’s exceptionally rich collection of 16th century Venetian paintings, drawings and prints to showcase and contextualise Titian’s two Diana canvases. Almost all of the major names in Venetian art of the period are represented.

Titian and the Golden Age of Venetian Art provides the National Galleries of Scotland with an opportunity to thank the funding bodies and individuals who contributed so generously to the acquisition of these hugely important and influential pictures.

The Two Roberts: Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBrydeScottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two) 22 November 2014-24 May 2015 £8 / £6

This will be the first major exhibition of the work of Colquhoun and MacBryde. It comes in their centenary year: MacBryde was born in Maybole in 1913, Colquhoun in Kilmarnock in 1914. They met at Glasgow School of Art in 1933 and became lovers. Moving to London in the early 1940s, they rocketed to fame, becoming two of the most celebrated artists of the postwar period, alongside their friends Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Their work was bought by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and featured in countless major exhibitions.

In the 1950s their work dropped out of fashion. Colquhoun died penniless in 1962 aged just 47; MacBryde died four years later. This exhibition of over 100 paintings and drawings - many lent by private collectors and not seen in public for decades - offers the first chance to re-evaluate their extraordinary work. It includes their most celebrated paintings of the 1940s, Colquhoun’s haunting monotypes, their designs for the ballet and theatre, and a remarkable amount of archive material documenting their fascinating lives.

John Ruskin: Artist and ObserverScottish National Portrait Gallery Until 28 September 2014 £8 / £6

John Ruskin (1819-1900) is renowned as the greatest British art critic of the 19th century and the champion of Turner, but his role as an artist remains relatively little known. He was also an outstanding draughtsman and watercolour painter, who especially took inspiration from the natural world and architectural subjects. This exhibition illustrates, with the finest examples, the range and quality of his drawn and painted work. Gothic palaces in Venice, wild and spectacular Scottish and Alpine landscapes, and minutely defined and brilliantly coloured birds and plants are among the highlights of the show. The exhibition is a prestigious collaboration with the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.

Beauty by Design: Fashioning the RenaissanceScottish National Portrait Gallery 15 November 2014-3 May 2015 Admission free

Beauty by Design is an innovative exhibition linking the renaissance art collections of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Scottish National Gallery to contemporary fashion design, practice and display. The exhibition showcases two different, but inter-connected strands of research activity: responding to old-master paintings in the National Galleries’ collections, UK-based fashion designers have created new works using high-quality materials such as lace, while renaissance art specialists have explored ideas about beauty and cosmetics. The theme of body image is central: the historic paintings have been approached both as a means of challenging current perceptions of physical beauty, and as inspiration for a more diverse and emotionally considerate practice on the part of today’s fashion designers.Beauty by Design has been organised in partnership with Edinburgh College of Art at the University of Edinburgh and New Media Scotland. It also enjoys the support of Sophie Hallette Lace and All Walks Beyond the Catwalk. Participants include: Jill Burke, Mal Burkinshaw, Anne Chaisty, Philip Clarke, Claire Ferguson, Paul Hodgson, Sharon Lloyd and Sally-Ann Provan.

Want to be creative but not sure where to start?This autumn why not take the plunge and try our half-day taster sessions in writing prose or poetry? A four-week course will follow for those who get hooked. Or join us on Thursdays for Art for Absolute Beginners, running for the fifth year. These are mix-and-match sessions so you can come in the mornings to look and talk about art in a very informal way, or join us in the afternoon to learn about and experiment with different materials. Starting at a very basic level these are courses designed for the complete beginner.
