This first major exhibition of Frederic Leighton’s small landscape oil sketches, painted en plein air as he travelled, reveals the celebrated Victorian artist in a new light.
Discover a spontaneous, experimental artist who took the road less well-trodden by his contemporaries, documenting the places he encountered. Created between 1856 and his death in 1896, many of these delicate artworks will be returning to Leighton’s house for the first time in over 120 years, including the new acquisition of Bay of Cádiz, Moonlight (1866).
