The Summer Exhibition is an art exhibition held annually by the Royal Academy in Burlington House, Piccadilly in central London.

 IndieLondon: Summer Exhibition 2006: Royal Academy - Your London Reviews
ENTERING the forecourt of the Royal Academy this summer, visitors are to be welcomed not by the traditional life-size sculpture of Sir Joshua Reynolds, first president of the Academy, but rather by Virgin Mother, a 34-foot bronze sculpture of a partially-flayed pregnant woman behind which Reynolds is hidden.
However, the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition is not designed as a showcase for established artists, but as a celebration of contemporary artists in general.
Perhaps the most important thing about the Summer Exhibition is the fact that the vast majority of the works on show are for sale; that exhibition goers of any background can, for a couple of hours, engage in the idea of owning contemporary art.

And yet the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition really was an enjoyable experience, in part because of its unfamiliarity--for me, this salon-style show seemed more redolent of the days of Diderot or Baudelaire than of the 21st century.
The Summer Exhibition has been going on for 234 years and is described as "the largest open contemporary art exhibition in the world"--open" meaning that anyone can submit work for consideration.
In that sense, this hoary old academy, though it does have a jury and a big prize--the Royal Academy Charles Wollaston Award, worth 25,000 [pounds sterling] ($38,000)--seems far more democratic, and truer to the anti-authoritarian spirit of modernism, than any curated show can be.

Alma-Tadema's entries at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1880 were the repainted Fredegonda and Galswintha: AD 566 (No 240, 1878), On the road to the Temple of Ceres (No 254, 1879) and My sister is not in (No 255, 1879).
But unlike 1879, when his water-colours were done specifically for exhibitions at the Royal Society of Painters in Water-colour, three of the four he painted in 1881 were sent in other directions.
With a major retrospective exhibition, both the artist and his critics would be able to examine for the first time the expanse of his art.
