Embark on a journey with gallery’s latest exhibition

The display, entitled Journeys, opened to the public on Saturday, January 28 and includes works by well-known artists such as Frederick Lord Leighton and John Ruskin.

A spokesman for the gallery said: “Historically, a number of artists would have travelled Western Europe as part of their training as art students.

“Italy and France were popular destinations, providing an array of beautiful views as well as the opportunity to learn from the masters.

“Take your own tour of these places in the exhibition, and venture off the beaten track to Egypt or Bermuda.”

As well as renowned artists, the new exhibition includes works by a number of lesser-known painters.

Works included in Journeys are taken from the permanent fine art collection of the trustees of the Cooper Gallery.

The exhibition is now on show in the Fox Wing of the gallery, in Church Street.

It runs until Saturday, August 18 and is open from 10am onwards every day of the week, except Sundays.

The Cooper Gallery’s permanent collection contains more than 400 works, by artists including JMW Turner.
