This is the second show in a two-part exhibition of his works in Gallery 29. \n\n\n\nHiromitsu’s striking designs are not portraits of actual actors\, but visualisations of famous kabuki roles. \n\n\n\nIn kabuki\, performers wearing elaborate costumes and make-up use stylised movement and song to enact melodramatic stories about love\, loyalty and the clash between duty and emotion. \n\n\n\nThe works recall Japan’s traditional ukiyo-e woodblock actor prints\, but are made using a different technique – kappazuri\, or stencil printing\, originally used for dyeing kimono. This process is complex and labour-intensive\, and Hiromitsu is one of very few artists working in this way today. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases a second selection of these unusual prints from the Ashmolean’s own extensive collection of Hiromitsu’s work\, generously presented by Philip Harris. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Admission is FREE \n\n\n\nDate and times:From 16 February 2024 to 23 February 2025 \n\n\n\nThe museum is open every day from 10.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:Gallery 29 \n\n\n\nWatch the Kabuki Legends: Part One video URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/kabuki-legends-part-two/ LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum\, 35 Beaumont Street\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire\, OX1 2PH CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/kabuki-legends-01-1920x1080-dancing-cranes.webp GEO:51.7550824;-1.2611489 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ashmolean Museum 35 Beaumont Street Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 2PH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=35 Beaumont Street:geo:-1.2611489,51.7550824 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240320T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241027T235959 DTSTAMP:20250301T132129Z CREATED:20240319T203704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250301T132129Z UID:10009518-1710892800-1730073599@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Guercino at Waddesdon: King David and the Wise Women DESCRIPTION:Guercino at Waddesdon: King David and the Wise Women. Image: Guercino\, The Cumaean Sibyl with a Putto\, 1651© The National Gallery\, London\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Guercino at Waddesdon: King David and the Wise Women\n\n\n\nOver 350 years after they were painted\, five paintings by renowned Bolognese painter Guercino are on display together for the first time at Waddesdon in a new exhibition. \n\n\n\nThis historic exhibition spotlights one of the great painters of 17th-century Italy\, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri\, known as Guercino (1591-1666). Brought together for the first time since leaving the artist’s studio in 1651 are Waddesdon’s King David alongside two associated paintings of Sibyls from the National Gallery and another Sibyl from the Royal Collection\, painted the same year. \n\n\n\nBorn in the Italian town of Cento\, Guercino was an excellent draughtsman whose compositions were known for their originality. In his lifetime\, he created hundreds of altarpieces and paintings\, becoming one of the most sought-after Italian Baroque painters and enjoying the patronage of popes\, foreign courts\, cardinals and dukes. \n\n\n\nSee\, close-up\, Guercino’s brilliant use of paint to depict silk\, flesh\, ermine\, paper\, wood and stone while conjuring up ideas about inspiration and contemplation\, sight and foresight\, poetry and prophecy. This is an opportunity to explore how King David relates to the sibyls. \n\n\n\nAlso on display and never before seen in public is Guercino’s recently rediscovered depiction of Moses. This is one of the most important additions to Guercino’s body of work and adds to our understanding of his early maturity\, a period considered by many to be his greatest for the dynamism\, vigour and spontaneity of his painting. \n\n\n\nWhat is a Sybil? \n\n\n\nThese female prophets or seers from classical antiquity were popular subjects in the 17th century\, appealing to Baroque artists as models of female authority. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about Guercino\n\n\n\nGuercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri)\, Self-Portrait\, 1630-32. Courtesy of Schoeppler Collection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiovanni Francesco Barbieri enjoyed a successful career spent mostly in Bologna and Rome. He acquired the nickname ‘Guercino’ (‘Little Squinter’) due to strabismus (the condition of having a squint). \n\n\n\nAccording to the biographer Carlo Cesare Malvasia\, the infant Guercino was awoken by a loud noise with such a start that he was left with his right eye permanently fixed at an angle. Whether or not this story is to be believed\, this does not appear to have impaired his vision or achievements as a painter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree with house and grounds admission. \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets required:House and grounds admission. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Waddesdon Manor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWaddesdon Manor is an extraordinary French Renaissance-style chateau located in Aylesbury\, Buckinghamshire\, approximately 14 miles from Bicester and 25 miles from Oxford. \n\n\n\nBuilt between 1874 and 1889 by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild\, a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family\, the manor is renowned for its opulent architecture\, exquisite interiors\, and extensive collections of art and decorative objects. \n\n\n\nSet amidst picturesque gardens and parklands\, Waddesdon Manor offers visitors a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the late 19th-century European aristocracy. \n\n\n\nToday\, it is managed by the Rothschild Foundation\, a family charitable trust\, on behalf of the National Trust\, which took over ownership in 1957.

They blur the line between reality and artifice\, conjuring the disquieting sensation of both presence and absence. \n\n\n\nBlenheim Palace\, a gift from Queen Anne to the First Duke of Marlborough in recognition of his triumph at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704 and later the birthplace of wartime prime minister Winston Churchill\, stands as an architectural testament to military glory. \n\n\n\nPlaced within the context of Blenheim Palace and its world-renowned collection of portraiture and narrative artworks\, Sami’s enigmatic paintings challenge viewers to reconsider the didactic nature of these traditional genres. \n\n\n\nMichael Frahm\, Director of Blenheim Art Foundation\, said: “We are thrilled to bring the exceptional work of Mohammed Sami to Blenheim Palace for his major solo exhibition. \n\n\n\n“Sami’s unique visual language\, which merges the personal and historical\, the fragmented and the surreal\, is set to engage audiences in a profound dialogue with the Palace’s storied past and its impressive art collection.  \n\n\n\n“This exhibition not only celebrates a decade of contemporary art within our walls but also reaffirms our commitment to showcasing groundbreaking artists whose work resonates with the times and places they inhabit.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see below for important booking information. \n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:Inside the Palace. \n\n\n\nTickets required:Entry is valid with an Annual or Privilege Pass or a Palace\, Park and Gardens day ticket. \n\n\n\nDogs:No dogs allowed in the Palace. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mohammed Sami\n\n\n\nMohammed Sami was born in Baghdad in 1984\, later immigrating to Sweden in 2007\, and now lives and works in London. In 2023\, Sami’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition at Camden Art Centre\, London\, his first solo institutional exhibition in the UK\, which toured to De La Warr Pavilion\, Bexhill-on-Sea. \n\n\n\nHe has participated in group exhibitions at the Carnegie Museum of Art\, Pittsburgh (2022); Aichi Triennale (2022); the Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2022); the Hayward Gallery\, London (2021); and Towner Eastbourne (2020) and his paintings are held in many notable places such as the Tate\, London; Museum of Modern Art\, New York; and Moderna Museet\, Stockholm.

It has gone on to be regarded as a genuine pop classic. \n\n\n\nLike ‘Perfect’\, ‘What’s Wrong With The World?’ was written by the band’s guitarist Mark Nevin and sung by their brilliant vocalist\, Eddi Reader. In a similar upbeat country-pop vein as their huge hit\, they finally answer the question on everyone’s lips: “What’s wrong with the world?” \n\n\n\nThere is no other band like Fairground Attraction – their use of the guitarrón (a large\, Mexican acoustic bass)\, played by Simon Edwards\, gives the bottom end of their records a warmth and character that combines with drummer Roy Dodds\, Nevin and Reader to create a charming acoustic antidote to all that is modern and digital.  \n\n\n\nWhen they arrived on the scene all those years ago\, their unique sound was described by many as a “breath of fresh air”\, and it is even truer today than it was then. \n\n\n\nAnd where are they now? Who are they now? They are here\, alive and well; they are Fairground Attraction. They survived\, and they’re still smiling. \n\n\n\nFans will also have the chance to see the band live this autumn\, with their first UK tour since they split in 1990. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee. \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nAge guidance:Under 16s to be accompanied by an adult 21+. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

Performing at London’s 600-capacity Lafayette for ‘Independent Venue Week’ in February\, The Guardian found The Pretenders “as sharp as ever\, with new songs stealing the limelight from classic hits”. \n\n\n\nThe band launched the Relentless album headlining Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival\, kicking off a UK club tour treating fans to unreleased new songs and scatterings of surprise hits\, tipped as “on such brilliant form” by The Independent. \n\n\n\nTheir surprise performance at Glastonbury\, featuring special guests Johnny Marr and Dave Grohl\, was received as a highlight of the entire festival weekend. The Telegraph described “a thrilling\, rocking\, melodious\, attitude-packed surprise set\, at the Park Stage”\, MOJO found “a thing of wonder”\, and the Metro reported\, “The Pretenders left fans well and truly in awe”. \n\n\n\nJoining Guns N’ Roses at London’s BST Hyde Park mid-way through a European arena tour\, both bands then set out across the US for huge outdoor shows through August and September\, where Chrissie Hynde joined Guns N’ Roses on stage singing and playing harmonica for a surprise performance of ‘Bad Obsession’ at Boston’s Fenway Park. \n\n\n\nA spectacular UK homecoming at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in front of 35\,000 fans in Victoria Park\, Leicester\, delighted fans before the band returned to the US for the Ohana Festival and sold-out club shows across the West Coast. \n\n\n\nTicket resale is not permitted for this event. Terms and Conditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\nOutrageously good \nLouder Than War\n\n\n\n\nLegendary \nSun On Sunday\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:From £62.88 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee. \n\n\n\nDates & times:Doors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance:Under 14s to be accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

Image: Watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\nFrom the first-ever scientific description of a dinosaur to the revelation that Earth is much older than the Biblical 6\,000 years\, the 19th century saw a network of naturalists forge new ways of thinking about the history of life and our planet. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground is a new exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History that charts these significant developments in palaeontology and geology through a cast of characters – both the celebrated and the unsung – who helped to establish new scientific methods and ideas. \n\n\n\nCentred on an Oxford couple – William Buckland\, geologist and palaeontologist\, and Mary Buckland (née Morland)\, a scientific illustrator\, it explores some of the most historically important dinosaur discoveries ever made. \n\n\n\nMarking the 200th anniversary of the first description of a dinosaur\, Breaking Ground presents fossil material from the first three dinosaurs to be scientifically named – Megalosaurus\, Iguanodon\, and Hylaeosaurus\, including the iconic jaw that started it all. \n\n\n\nAlongside these historic specimens are more than 100 other objects\, including fossils\, skeletons\, casts\, and models. There is also archival material such as lithograph prints and watercolour paintings beautifully documenting the fieldwork\, landscapes\, and discoveries made during this fertile period of early palaeontology. \n\n\n\nWhile celebrating these important scientific developments\, Breaking Ground also investigates some inequalities of the period. William and Mary Buckland were married in 1825 and worked together to lay the foundations of modern palaeontology\, though history tends to remember their contributions differently. \n\n\n\nFamiliar names from 19th-century palaeontology are typically those of powerful people associated with certain institutions and publications; lost to history are workers in other\, often colonised\, countries who dug for specimens\, lower-status miners and quarriers around the UK\, and most women\, regardless of class or wealth. \n\n\n\nThese include Mary Anning\, who\, though more recently celebrated\, faced financial struggles for most of her life and\, as a woman\, was unable to join the Geological Society of London or present her own ideas. This is despite making some of the most important fossil discoveries of the century\, several of which will be on display in the exhibition. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground will also offer the first showcase of items from the newly acquired Buckland archive. The drawings\, prints and paintings made by Mary Buckland include those used in the description of Megalosaurus by William Buckland in 1824. \n\n\n\nAs these illustrations helped to spread understanding of extinct groups of animals and plants among the 19th-century scientific community\, they challenged any literal interpretations of the Bible. A much older planet was revealed\, one that had undergone periods of glaciation – a controversial idea at the time – and in which hyaenas once populated the caves of Britain. \n\n\n\nComplementing the exhibition is a sculptural installation by British artist Angela Palmer. Torus of Time is a visual and tactile symbol of the deep time that was being uncovered by these pioneering 19th-century palaeontologists. An elegant ring of 16 quarry stones drawn from across the United Kingdom\, the piece represents three billion years of geological time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Entry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed.

This hyaena jaw was found by William Buckland in Kirkdale cave in North Yorkshire in the 1820s. He initially thought the fossil showed evidence of the Great Flood having transported the animal to England. However\, further analysis showed the cave to have been a hyaena den from the Late Pleistocene\, 120\,000 years ago\, when Yorkshire would have been a lot warmer.\n\n\n\nHippopotamus. This watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\, is marked ‘MM’ – one of the few drawings signed with Mary’s maiden name. Morland was a gifted scientific illustrator whose drawings were used in scientific publications for William Buckland and others including Georges Cuvier.\n\n\n\nIchthyosaur with stomach contents. Exceptionally preserved\, this is one of Mary Anning’s finds of an ichthyosaur. Fish bones and scales\, visible inside the stomach area of the animal\, reveal the last meal of this marine reptile.\n\n\n\nMegalosaurus Jaw. This is the iconic fossilised jaw of Megalosaurus\, found in Stonesfield\, Oxfordshire\, and was used by William Buckland in the first ever scientific description of a dinosaur\, in 1824.\n\n\n\nProfessor and Mrs. Buckland and Frank. This silhouette of the Bucklands\, created by Auguste Edouart in 1829\, celebrates how the whole family was involved in the study of palaeontology.\n\n\n\nSynoptic view of the leading phenomena of Geology. The first plate in William Buckland’s Bridgewater Treatise VI: Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology. The Bridgewater Treatises was a series of eight volumes highlighting how science and faith could coexist. Buckland’s contribution argued that geology and palaeontology were consistent with the Bible and natural theology.
