Let’s not forget that Dulwich Picture Gallery has a trio of excellent exhibitions on for the duration of August, including an extension to Kennington Kids: Raw Urban due to overwhelming popularity.

Kennington Kids has been featured twice on the BBC News and was the Time Out Critic’s Choice, and continues until August 29 in the Linbury Room (which is closed when there is a lecture, best check the website or call ahead first).

It showcases the fantastic results of the gallery’s evening workshops and outreach programmes that education department have been running in recent years in the across south London, in particular Alford House Youth Club, that serves three large council estates in the heart of Kennington.

The gallery’s main show at the moment is Painting Family: The De Brays, which presents one of the dominant artistic dynasites of the Dutch golden age of the 17th century.

The family are largely unknown now, but Jan de Bray and his father Salomon were the the most important painters in Haarlem in the 17th century and Jan’s brothers Dirck and Joseph were also artists, and this exhibition includes mastetrpieces from all four.

Slightly later than the de Brays was Jan van Huysum, a remarkable painter who is the subject of a show called The Phoenix Of All Flower Painters. Van Huysum was not merely a painter of still life - notoriously ranked as the lowest category of painting - but rather an illusionist who succeeded in raising the status of this genre to due respect. The display will centre on a dazzling pendant pair dating from the 1730s once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte among others.
