Let's kick off the New Year with something a bit out of the ordinary: Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism at London's Royal Academy. This show features more than 130 works by 10 key 20th-century Brazilian artists, and most of them have never been on show in the UK before, providing a chance to look at modern art in a way that breaks from the European and North American perspective we're so used to. On from January 28 to April 21. There are more familiar names at Bath's Holburne Museum: Francis Bacon, Peter Blake, Gerhard Richter and Andy Warhol among them. Iconic: Portraiture from Bacon to Warhol focuses on the middle of the 20th century when many artists began to use photographs as sources for their paintings. The exhibition runs from January 24 to May 5. From January 22, the Louvre in Paris offers the chance to take A New Look at Cimabue: At the Origins of Italian Painting .

It's the month before Christmas, and all through the house, there's not a lot stirring in terms of new exhibitions.
At the Wallace Collection in London, December 4 sees the opening of Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company. Curated by writer and historian William Dalrymple, this is the first show in the UK of works by Indian painters for the trading company that effectively ruled large parts of the subcontinent in the 18th and 19th centuries. Until April 19.
We've seen some superb exhibitions at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg in the past, and their new show brings together three really big names: Goya, Fragonard, Tiepolo. With around 100 works, the exhibition will examine the disparity of 18th-century art in an age of great political, technological and social change. December 13 to April 13.
And in Italy, the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara is devoting a show to Giuseppe De Nittis, the Italian painter closely associated with the French Impressionists. It's on from December 1 to April 13.
And in Copenhagen, one of the best exhibitions of the year, a huge retrospective of the Danish Golden Age in the 19th century, ends its run at the National Gallery on December 8. It will be on again at the Petit Palais in Paris from April 28.

Two complementary shows are finishing at the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London. December 1 is the last day for Architecture of London, an exhibition that looks back at how artists have viewed the metropolis over four centuries, while The London that Never Was, a quirky free display on the buildings and projects that failed to get constructed, closes a week later.
