In January 2013 the RSA's collections went live on the BBC's flagship Your Paintings website. Shedding new light on the RSA collections, Your Paintings has helped make nearly 1,000 paintings accessible to digital audiences worldwide. BBC Your Paintings: Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture

 

This exhibition celebrates this ground-breaking resource, giving you the opportunity to discover some rarely seen gems from the RSA collections that have not been exhibited for many years.

 

In the RSA Friends Room the exhibition centres around Scottish landscape of the nineteenth century, selected in response to the year of Homecoming Scotland 2014. Considering the questions of our nation's identity arising in 2014, what better time to remember an era when painting revealed the amazing beauty and diversity of Scotland's landscapes through both romantic and honest visions.

 

But here's the exciting part, part of the exhibition is given over to you to create a dynamic and evolving hang from the RSA's painting collections.
