Leighton House in Holland Park will be opening their latest temporary exhibition in a few days' time. Leighton and Landscape: Impressions from Nature will be a celebration of the relatively underappreciated works from nature Lord Leighton undertook on this various travels.
According to the museum's blurb:
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 up until his death in 1896, many of these delicate artworks will be returning to Leighton's house for the first time over 120 years, including new acquisition Bay of Cádiz, Moonlight (1866).
The show will run from 16th November 2024 until 27th April 2025.
