EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1887, a group of esteemed Royal Academicians are seen intently examining a pile of paintings, each one carefully considered for potential inclusion in the annual Royal Academy Exhibition in London. The Academicians, renowned artists and art experts in their own right, are tasked with the important responsibility of selecting works to display on the walls of the prestigious institution. The pile of paintings before them, referred to as the "doubtfuls," are those that have not yet been accepted or rejected by the committee. The Academicians' expressions convey a sense of deep concentration and deliberation as they scrutinize each piece, searching for those that will best fit the available spaces and meet the high standards of the exhibition. The annual Royal Academy Exhibition was a significant event in the London art scene, attracting artists and art lovers from all corners of the city and beyond. The exhibition provided a platform for emerging artists to showcase their work alongside established masters, and the approval of the Royal Academicians was a coveted accolade in the art world. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the selection process behind one of the most prestigious art exhibitions of the time. The Academicians' dedication and focus are evident as they work to curate a collection that will inspire, challenge, and delight visitors for months to come. This image is a reminder of the important role that institutions like the Royal Academy play in nurturing and promoting artistic talent, and the crucial role that curation and selection play in shaping the art world.
