Curator Tour: Leighton and Landscape with Hannah Lund
Thursday 13 February 2025, 1pm - 2pm
Join Hannah Lund, Curator for Exhibitions and Displays, for a tour of the exhibition Leighton and Landscape: Impressions from Nature. The tour will encompass both the The Verey Exhibition Gallery and The Tavolozza Drawings Gallery displays, and explore different aspects of Leighton’s landscape painting practice, including the work he produced in Capri.
Despite the beauty and significance of Frederic Leighton’s landscape sketches, there is little public awareness of them. Leighton and Landscape brings together over 60 of these works from private and public collections to explore the position they occupied in his career, and what they say about him as an artist. Leighton’s landscape sketches connect his art, his travels throughout Europe, South West Asia and North Africa, and his studio-home, bringing together much of what makes Leighton such a fascinating figure.

Join Daniel Robbins, Senior Curator, on Thursday 28 November 2024, 1-2pm, for another chance to hear fascinating exhibition insights.
