Nicolas Poussin’s The Triumph of Pan, a much-loved work from the National Gallery’s Collection, is travelling the UK in 2019.

The three venues for the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour 2019 are Victoria Art Gallery, Bath; York Art Gallery; and Auckland Castle, part of The Auckland Project, County Durham.

Over a period of one year, the annual National Gallery Masterpiece Tour offers three museums and galleries outside London the opportunity to display a major work.

At Bath’s Victoria Art Gallery, Poussin’s masterpiece will be shown alongside works from the 15th century to the present day, reflecting on Bath’s Roman and Georgian heritage, and will include works by artists as diverse as Thomas Malton, Jean Claude Nattes and Grayson Perry.

Jon Benington, Victoria Art Gallery Manager, said: “We are delighted to have been selected as the first venue for the 2019 Masterpiece Tour, and look forward to seeing The Triumph of Pan displayed at the Victoria Art Gallery, where local residents and visitors to Bath will be able to see it for free.”

The exhibition takes place at the Victoria Art Gallery, Bath, from 11th April to 7th July.
