Collection overview (Cornucopia)
Fine Art
The Watts Gallery houses the major part of the studio collection of George Frederic Watts OM RA (1817 – 1904), the Victorian artist and sculptor. This includes an impressive collection of drawings, oil paintings and sculpture, and ranges from his early pieces such as ‘The Wounded Heron’ (his first Royal Academy picture exhibited in 1837) to the self-portrait he was working on when he died. There are also works by his wife and other Victorian artists e.g. Albert Moore’s ‘Jasmine’. Further items including photographs have been acquired.
