    Portrait of the artist

    The first must–see blockbuster exhibition of the year will be in London at the Royal Academy, which is staging a major show dedicated to the portraiture of Édouard Manet. Featuring 50 works curated from international collections, including portraits of Manet´s most frequent sitter, his wife Suzanne, luminaries of the period Antonin Proust and Émile Zola, and Parisians promenading in the Tuileries gardens, this is certain to be a hot ticket. From January 26 – April 14; royalacademy.org.uk
