Public Tour: Nature in Art

I love the all that nature loves
The water, earth, and sky
The greenness of the leafy groves
Brown fallows rising high
(from "Song", by John Clare c. 1847). 

Join us for a tour covering representations of nature in artworks in the Gallery’s collection. This tour looks at how responses to nature have changed over time, moving from a state of denial over nature's power to acceptance, and to fear of what may be lost through climate change. This tour further reveals how images of nature have often been.
