Exhibition of the week Beyond Caravaggio
This rapturously enjoyable detour through the candlelight and shadows of 17th-century art is one of the most beautiful exhibitions of recent years. Caravaggio’s paintings are shining daggers of profundity and truth. The works of his much less famous followers, from Artemisia Gentileschi to Georges de La Tour, are fascinating and moving. Don’t miss this.

Fahrelnissa Zeid
Dazzling kaleidoscopic abstract art, shaped as much by Islamic and Byzantine tradition as by Parisian ideas, made Zeid one of Turkey’s best modern painters.

Sargent: The Watercolours
The genius of John Singer Sargent is best seen in his strange and powerful portraits, but his watercolours reveal his affinity for impressionism.
