Inspired by Brodsworth
We invited Doncaster Art Club to create works inspired by the landscape around Brodsworth Hall, and you can see the Club’s artwork in our special exhibition room upstairs. The display, which features 57 artworks by Club members, explores how today’s local landscape painters make connections with Brodsworth in a similar way to how Dutch painters interpreted the 17th-century Dutch landscape. The Club, founded in 1897, is one of Yorkshire’s oldest art clubs and has a longstanding connection with Brodsworth. The Club visited whilst Mrs Sylvia Grant-Dalton lived at the hall, painting in the gardens and, occasionally, inside. If you find you have a favourite, many of the paintings are available to buy.
