Jane Austen and JMW Turner are two of Britain’s most significant cultural icons. Although they were born in the same year, they never met. However, they came close, as Austen did visit the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition one year when Turner was in it. The closest they got until now was probably in your wallet with their faces on the £10 and £20 notes. Stately home Harewood House, outside Leeds, has paired the two giants together in the year that would have been their 250th birthdays.

I popped into my curated exhibition, ‘Beyond the Prize’, at Mall Galleries for one last look on its final day (now closed). Next door, at ICA, is an exhibition by Nora Turato (until 8 June, ticketed).
