Arundel Mill and Castle byJohn Constable

TheRoyal Academy Exhibition of 1837 was anart exhibition held inLondon between 1 May and 22 July 1837. It was the sixty ninth annualSummer Exhibition of theRoyal Academy of Arts and the first to be held at theNational Gallery following a move fromSomerset House, the Academy's home since 1780. The new gallery was designed by thearchitectWilliam Wilkins inGreek Revival style. When the exhibition began it was not fully completed. Designed for the Academy to share the building with the recently establishedNational Gallery, critical reaction to the new building was almost universally negative.[1] While the Exhibition was ongoing the reigning monarchWilliam IV was succeeded by his nieceVictoria on 20 June, beginning theVictorian era.

The exhibition was the first time in 34 years that Constable had not appeared due to his death on 31 March. However his friendCharles Robert Leslie submitted the artist's final major workArundel Mill and Castle on his behalf.[2] Constable's former rivalJ.M.W. Turner was on the hanging committee and submitted four works of his own.[3]

Wilkie also displayedhistory paintings includingThe Escape of Mary Queen of Scots from Lochleven Castle andJosephine and the Fortune-Teller[4]George Frederic Watts made his debut at the Academy withThe Wounded Heron.[5]
