The Landscape

7th - 17th May 2022

This exhibition brings together 50 local artists, emerging and established, demonstrating the broad range of media and styles that are currently being used to depict a subject matter that is today one of the most popular and frequently shown genres of art.

​

Landscapes have been depicted as far back as 4th century Chinese art but were not appreciated as a separate genre in the western world until the 17th century. They were made ever popular by Constable, Turner and later through impressionists such as Manet, Monet, Renoir who sketched and painted - en plein air - directly recording their experiences as well as the scene itself.
