NEW HAVEN, CT.- This summer, the Yale
Center for
British Art will present a small, fascinating exhibition that is both an

engaging visual puzzle and an exploration of the art world in 1820s
London. In
1829, the young artist John Scarlett Davis sought to make a splash on
the London
art scene with his painting Interior of the British Institution. An
image of a
nineteenth-century art exhibition, the painting is also an elaborate
puzzle that
includes miniature works by famous British artists. Opening June 24,
Seeing
Double: Portraits, Copies and Exhibitions in 1820s London will offer
visitors an
entertaining opportunity to decode the puzzle and in the process explore
the
relationship between display and replication. On view through 19
September.
