About this event

Art History Study Day on The Art of Painting in the Dark with Art historian Catherine Wallace.

The day begins by looking at the pioneer of Nocturne paintings James McNeill Whistler (1834 – 1903). His influence was global ad he inspired artists such as J.Arnesby Brown, Julius Olsson, Moffat Lindner, Sir S. H.William Llewellyn and Mary McCrossan who all painted nocturnes in St. Ives. Meanwhile, Stanhope Forbes in Newlyn became a master of lamplight and firelight paintings alongside other artists who specialised in twilight scenes.

We will also look at the influence of John Atkinson Grimshaw and other painters of urban nocturnes including American artists such as Edward Hopper. The theme of nocturnes is brought up to date with the work of contemporary artists such as William Ashley Hold and Benjamin Warner.
