SUMMARY:Elizabeth and Stanhope Forbes: A Marriage of Art
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 5 April – Sunday 29 June 2025 | Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum\nA sumptuous selection of artworks by the power couple of British Impressionism, Elizabeth and Stanhope Forbes.\nThe exhibition includes intricate portraits and landscapes to lose yourself in, many on loan from Penlee House Gallery & Museum and visiting Worcester for the first time. Also featured is the local favourite by Stanhope Forbes; Chadding on Mounts Bay.\nElizabeth Forbes achieved international recognition but soon became overshadowed by her male contemporaries.

These artists are Elizabeth and Stanhope Forbes, who married in 1889 and together formed the famous ‘Newlyn School’ of painting in Cornwall.\nElizabeth was labelled ‘the Queen of Newlyn’ for her contributions to the art colony. However, as is often the fate of women artists of the period, she came to be regarded as an appendage of her more famous husband and, over time, her influence within this story became obscured.\nThis talk and exhibition places Elizabeth and Stanhope as equals, a power couple that worked together to change the course of British art as vanguards of Impressionism.\nThis seated talk takes place in the Committee Room.\n£7; book here.
