Exhibition 'Exeter’s Fine Art Collection: Seasons' in Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery
This exhibition features a selection of drawings, watercolours and oil paintings from RAMM’s collection with a seasonal theme, as well as Devon Landscapes, Exeter and People. Devon Landscapes include 18th-century watercolours by John White Abbott and more recent works by Robert Organ and Alan Richards. There are also topographical drawings and watercolours of Exeter by Sidney Endacott and Francis Towne. Recently-acquired botanical watercolours by Reverend William Keble Martin are displayed. These were plates for his book The Concise British Flora in Colour (1965). Seasonal scenes include John Wainwright’s exquisitely detailed Hawthorn and Chaffinch, along with Henry Hainsselin’s expressive work Friesland Boer Skating.
