The Newlyn School artists were famous for painting outdoors, but were just as accomplished in depicting life behind closed doors in Penzance, Newlyn and the surrounding areas, as shown in this fascinating exhibition. The Newlyn School painters were a group of artists who settled in Newlyn in the 1880s and painted scenes of life in the local fishing community. The exhibition will explore the lives of Newlyners through these unique and special paintings by artists such as Stanhope Forbes, Frank Bramley, Elizabeth Forbes and Harold Harvey.
