Inspired! is the new exhibition on display at Guildhall Art Gallery. Drawn from the gallery's permanent collections, Inspired! examines ways in which visual artists have taken inspiration from the literary arts - poetry, plays, novels, and also music.
Focusing primarily on Victorian storytelling, visitors will learn about literary references which may have been commonly understood to the original audience, but which fell out of circulation for modern audiences.
Join Curator Katherine Pearce on this video tour to learn more about paintings, drawings and sculptures which demonstrate the variety of inspirations and influences for artists from the 17th to the 19th century.
Old favourites have been reassessed and re-interpreted alongside rarely-seen artworks from the archives, revealing the vital interplay between all branches of The Arts.
Inspired! is on display until 23 December 2022. Visit the website for more information and to book your tickets: www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/inspired
