Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Wednesday 9th November
Leonardo da Vinci @ National Gallery
One of the most hotly anticipated shows of the year – so much so that the National Gallery is limiting how many people can actually visit it. On show are more than 60 works by one of the world's most famous artists of all time – Leonardo Da Vinci – making it the largest ever exhibition of his paintings. Focusing on his career as a court painter in Milan, this promises to shed new light on one of the most influential figures in art history.
From Wednesday 9th November
John Maine @ Royal Academy
This winter the Royal Academy continues its Artists' Laboratories programme with an exhibition of work by John Maine. Best known for major outdoor commissions like the new Green Park station, Maine is exhibiting a site-specific indoor work for the very first time. Consisting of a monumental installation of stone pieces, the exhibition is inspired by the artist's participation as an advisor in the restoration of the incredible thirteenth century Cosmati Pavement in Westminster Abbey.
From Friday 11th November
Royal Manuscripts @ British Library
An amazing looking exhibition of illuminated manuscripts from between the 9th and 16th centuries kicks off this week at the British Library. Highlights include Henry VIII's personal Psalter and two of the three remaining copies of Thomas Hoccleve's Regement of Princes – a guide to being an ideal courtier by the crazy bureaucrat/writer/visionary who is one of the finest and most underrated writers of the era.
