About this Event

In 1570 the artist Paulo Veronese playfully reframed a historical event. His painting of ‘The Family of Darius before Alexander’ relocates a scene from the Persian desert in 333BCE to a fashionable Venetian square of his own era. In a recently commissioned artwork, for the newly installed panoramic screen in the National Gallery’s refurbished Sainsbury Wing, Daniel Saul and Rachel Davies update the scene once more. This time to Trafalgar Square in 2025. The work, made in over 200 layers, combines high-resolution scans of the painting, 6K observational footage of Trafalgar Square and A.I. used for the purposes of satire.
