Museum of the Innocents From October 21, 2026 to April 4, 2027
The Museum of the Innocents in Florence is dedicating an exhibition to Artemisia Gentileschi's Florentine years, the most successful of her career, when she painted for the Medici.

She arrived in Florence in 1613, at the age of twenty, with a rape trial behind her, the minutes of which had been read throughout Italy. Three years later, she became the first woman admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. It is these years that the exhibition recounts, the years when Artemisia Gentileschi signed for the Medici, ran her own studio, and learned to read and write. Her heroines have laundresses' forearms and blades that carry considerable weight. The raking light comes from Caravaggio, two of whose paintings accompany the exhibition.
VAN GOGH MUSEUM From October 16, 2026 to January 10, 2027
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is dedicating an exhibition to James McNeill Whistler, the American in London who wanted painting to be music and not a story.

The Kunsthaus Zürich, which houses the largest collection of Munch's work outside of Norway, is bringing together the Norwegian painter and the Austrian Maria Lassnig for the first time. Two raw and vibrant bodies of work, separated by half a century.
THYSSEN-BORNEMISZA MUSEUM From October 20, 2026 to January 24, 2027
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid brings Dalí face to face with Freud, whom he only met once. Six sections show what the painter took from psychoanalysis, and what he subverted from it.
