Couldn't resist playing Spot the @leemadgwick - it was behind me from where I took this snap.
Really good show

"Our English Coasts, 1852 (Strayed Sheep)," William Holman Hunt, 1852.
Hunt (1827-1910) was a Pre-Raphaelite, as you may guess from this image. He was a founder of the group and one of its most passionate adherents; he had a strong belief that it was the duty of the artist to reveal the correspondence between sign and fact.
Hunt labored on this painting for many months, getting the views and details just right, adding in the rich colors. surviving the wind and storms. Even the butterflies are highly realistic; he added them in his studio, using actual butterflies as models.
A nice spring image, eh?
From the Tate Britain.

"When the Blue Evening Slowly Falls," Frank Bramley, 1909.
Bramley (1857-1915) was an English post-Impressionist painter and a member of what was called the "Newlyn School," part of an artists colony at the fishing village of Newlyn, near Penzance in Cornwall. Most Newlyn painters did landscapes and seascapes; Bramley did interiors, melding natural and artificial light.
The model here is believed to be his wife, painter Katherine Graham, in their home near Grasmere in the English Lake District.
The painting itself is a lovely evocation of the gathering dusk on a warm day...you can see the green outside, and trees that might be in full or partial leaf. This is a spring or summer scene.
From a private collection.
