HISTORY OF BRITAIN IN 21 PAINTINGS (HB)

From the wall art of St Cadoc’s Church near Cardiff and the detail of daily life portrayed by L.S. Lowry to landmark works including ‘The Rainbow Portrait’ of Elizabeth I and Millais’ ‘Ophelia’, Loxton creates a fresh, transformative history of Britain. Considering each piece from the viewer’s perspective, she explores how it feels standing before them, what they are trying to tell and what their real-life inspiration reveals about the period in which they were created.
