Art Funded by you

Lansdown Crescent, Bath

Walter Richard Sickert, c. 1917

Victoria Art Gallery, Bath

During his stay in Bath during World War One, Sickert concentrated on painting a few specific places and he was particularly interested in the eastern end of Lansdown Crescent, depicted in this work. This version is documented as a study, but its fresh colours and lively, confident brushwork suggest that it was completed on the spot.
