Showcasing artworks from the Ashmolean’s extraordinarily rich collections housed in the Western Art Print Room, the display will explore the theme of ‘Local to Global’, as part of this year’s Art History Festival.
Booking is essential. Choose from one of two 45-minute viewing sessions: 2.15pm or 3.15pm.
From scenes of domestic mayhem to familial harmony, from fierce battles to celebrations of peace in Britain and abroad, these selected artworks will be in a range of media, schools and styles. Artists such as Samuel Palmer, J.M.W. Turner, William Nicholson and Julia Margaret Cameron will be included.
Viewed in the tranquil setting of the Print Room, these images will provoke thoughts on global conflict and inner peace.
