Cornish Light: Nottingham 1894 Revisited

In 1894, Nottingham Castle Museum held a ground-breaking exhibition that gave an overview of a new wave in British art, sweeping in from a remote, little-known area of the country. It brought together the very best paintings that Cornish artists had produced in the preceding ten years, from artists’ studios in Cornwall, from the Royal Academy in London and from international exhibitions in Paris, Chicago, Munich and Vienna. ‘Cornish Light: Nottingham 1894 Revisited’ brings together as many of the original works as can currently be located, along with alternative works by these artists where these cannot be traced.
