Exhibitions at Lady Lever Art Gallery
Masterpiece watercolours and drawingsSaturday, June 28, 2008 - Sunday, November 09, 2008A rare opportunity to see some of the highlights of the incredible collection of British drawings and watercolours at the Lady Lever Art Gallery. The delightful works on display include pieces by JMW Turner, David Cox, Peter de Wint, Edward Lear, Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. These illustrate the flowering of the British watercolour school in the 18th century and follow its development through the 19th to the early 20th century. Through these works visitors can trace the development of William Hesketh Lever (1851-1925), the Bolton- born grocer’s son and wealthy soap manufacturer, as a notable collector of British drawings and watercolours. The exhibition also showcases the additions to the collection made by the Trustees of the Lady Lever Art Gallery after its founder’s death.
