Beginning in 1640, the exhibition gives an insight into the studio as a site for artistic creation and as a subject that has been long explored by artists. From places of display, theatricality and practical production to spaces of personal expression and retreat, the studio is shown not only as a creative space but as a rich source of information about the nature of the artist and their work.
