Illuminating Wentworth Woodhouse
The Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust is commemorating the 300th anniversary of artist George Stubbs by showcasing his paintings at the estate in South Yorkshire, marking their first public display there. Renowned for his innovative approach and keen interest in portraying animals with human-like qualities, Stubbs visited Wentworth Woodhouse in 1762 to create works commissioned by the Second Marquess of Rockingham.
The exhibition, titled “Beneath the Surface,” is the largest of its kind and features Stubbs’ artwork alongside pieces from contemporary artists like Ugo Rondinone, Mark Wallinger, and Tracey Emin. These artists explore similar themes, delving into the experiences of animals and humans through their creative and insightful works.
The exhibition is illuminated with our TM Gallery130 Spotlights and TM Goodwood Picture Lights delivering high colour rendition, museum-grade lighting.
