In the atrium of the Walker Art Gallery I could just see a group of schoolchildren in red jumpers, they looked so colourful!
I was there with a friend to see an exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. We went on a guided tour, it was fascinating to find out about this group of rebellious artists and see some of the paintings that made them so influential in Victorian Britain. They wanted to portray the beauty and truth of nature and the detail in some of the landscapes created an almost photographic finish, quite amazing! No cameras allowed in the gallery so had to wait until we were on our way out.
@laroque thanks, we didn't see it, the tour guide picked out a few paintings but that wasn't one of them. We ran out of time after the tour so we're going back to see all the ones we missed. I love the Walker so I don't mind!
