SUMMARY:Gladiators of Britain
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of gladiatorial fights in Britain. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe events of the amphitheatre – its wild beasts and enslaved fighters – are one of the most enduring aspects of Roman culture that still capture the public imagination today. \nThis touring exhibition brings together some of the country’s most important objects to tell the story of Britain’s entertainment venues and the people who died to the roar of the crowd. It will reveal the violence of the arena\, and the importance of spectacle within Roman culture. \nHighlights include the Colchester Vase loaned by Colchester Museums\, which records an actual battle between two real gladiators\, and the Hawkedon Helmet\, the only confirmed piece of gladiatorial armour from Roman Britain. These iconic loans will be supported by a selection of other items that reveal the popularity of gladiators throughout Roman society. \nThis tour is in partnership with Colchester and Ipswich Museums and is inspired by the recent exhibition at Colchester Castle\, Gladiators: A Day at the Roman Games which featured British Museum loans. It will explore Roman spectacle in the local region\, following in the footsteps of the gladiators who fought in the amphitheatres of Britain.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, landscape was considered an unworthy subject for serious artistic exploration. \nNorthampton Museum & Art Gallery \nUntil Sunday 4 October \nWhen landscape did appear in paintings\, it was often relegated to the background—merely a setting for religious or historical scenes. \nThis perception began to shift in the 17th century with the work of Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own right—one that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n

SUMMARY:IN EXTREMIS: Landscape Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to be hosting this exhibition across all our galleries here at 78 Derngate. Simon James is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores themes of nature and the urban environment in mostly abstract or semi-abstract forms and takes inspiration from his surroundings in the cities of Asia and Europe or\, more recently\, the English countryside. James trained in Fine Art and Printmaking at London’s Royal Academy and Royal College of Art and he now works across the spectrum from painting and drawing to video and photographic works\, having adopted the expressive potential of digital media while working as a designer and independent artist in Asia. Having held solo shows in London\, Berlin\, Singapore\, Shanghai and Tokyo\, whilst also designing for TV\, publishing and the music industry\, Simon was also a university lecturer in multimedia and photography.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.simonjames.com
