Into the Woods

From leafy bowers sheltering weary travellers to brooding forests and overgrown paths, these prints and drawings explore man’s relationship with trees and woods.

Drawn from a wide-ranging geographical area and period, the selection features and complements one of our latest long-term loans, Path Through a Dark Wooded Landscape by John Bernard Gilpin. The display includes stylistically diverse works by distinguished artists such as Jacob van Ruisdael, Theodore Rousseau and Samuel Palmer.
