Victorian and Edwardian Art

This collection includes some of the finest Victorian artists to have lived.

Highlights include works by John Atkinson Grimshaw and Elizabeth Thompson. Not to mention local artist Frederick William Elwell.

We also hold two works by Frederic Lord Leighton: Farewell and Electra at the Tomb of Agamemnon.

Our most popular painting is in this collection. So be sure not to miss it! It is, of course, The Lion at Home by the animal painter Rosa Bonheur. This huge realistic canvas never fails to impress.
