Pastures New

A collection of over 50 oils and watercolours by eight very different artists with a shared interest in sheep and cattle.

Highly prized by their owners as symbols of wealth and social status, the Sheep and the Cow have been favourite subjects for painters and sculptors from the Dutch Masters to Henry Moore.

Embodying the very spirit of the countryside, these guardians of the landscape continue to exert a strong hold on the artistic imagination, as the richness and variety of the pictures in this exhibition clearly demonstrate.
