Royal Academy Exhibition of 1857

The Royal Academy Exhibition of 1857 was the eighty ninth annual Summer Exhibition of the British Royal Academy of Arts. It was held at the National Gallery in London between 4 May and 25 July 1857. It coincided with the large Manchester Art Treasures exhibition, while several major artists were too busy working on the redecoration of the rebuilt Houses of Parliament to produce paintings for the Royal Academy, although Daniel Maclise submitted Peter the Great at Deptford Dockyard.
