Leeds Art Gallery, until 6 October Image of the week While it’s safe to say that this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition hasn’t exactly been as well received as it might, there is one room – a mesmerising “museum of making” – curated by Turner-prize winners Assemble that is worth a visit. Read the full story. What we learned Dennis Severs gave bogus tours of his London house by day – and by night held epic orgies The Portrait of Humanity winners capture us at our bravest and most vulnerable Photographer Miles Astray won a prize for AI images with a paltry human effort After 30 years of trying, one artist has finally made the Royal Academy show Treasures of Spanish Renaissance have escaped Madrid US photographer Daniel Kramer, known for his Dylan portraits, has died aged 91 A Michael Landy installation is aiming to revive Cockney rhyming slang Trailblazing female impressionist Mary Cassatt is celebrated in an extraordinary new show Fourteen years of Tory rule has (miss)shaped the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Masterpiece of the week Landscape with Narcissus and Echo by Claude, 1644 The French painter Claude Gellée spent most of his life in Rome, feasting his eyes on its landscapes and ruins and light. Here, he immerses your senses and imagination in a green Italian idyll caressed by golden sunshine. There’s a crumbling castle on a hilltop, sailing ships on the misty sea, a bridge over the river that cuts deep through velvet woods. In the foreground, a rustic pool is the setting for a scene from ancient mythology as Narcissus gazes in rapture at his own reflection, sentenced to fall in love with himself after he spurned the nymph Echo. But here, he seems to be rejecting a whole bunch of female admirers. Echo and another lovestruck woman watch him from the woods. In the foreground, a nude is trying to attract his attention by posing at the water’s edge. Still Narcissus has eyes only for his face in the water.
