Description
Time: Mon-Sat: 9.30am-5.30pm Thur: 9.30am-8.30pm Sun: 12noon-5.30pm
This exhibition brings together some 40 drawings by celebrated draftsmen and lesser known figures. Over the centuries artists drew to practice their graphic skills,
to work out compositions for paintings, to record the world in the form of portraits, landscapes or still-life. Sometimes drawings were made simply for amusement.
Spanning the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the selection of works on view will explore the idea of the master drawing and look at what qualities are necessary for a drawing to be described as such. The history of collecting and collectors' marks will also be explored. The exhibition will include compositions by Cuyp, Primaticcio, Guercino, Natoire, Boucher, Gainsborough, Francis Place and Frederic William Burton. An illustrated brochure will accompany the show.
