Curator’s Tour of Joseph Noel Paton: An Artist’s Life – From Dunfermline to the Royal
Court at Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries, 1 Abbot St, Dunfermline KY12 7NL
For this major exhibition, Dunfermline welcomes home one of its own with a show devoted to the life and work of Sir Joseph Noel Paton. Dunfermline-born artist, illustrator, poet, official Painter to Queen Victoria and a contemporary of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Paton was a towering figure in the Victorian art world.
The exhibition features important works from various major museums and galleries, such as Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, the National Gallery of Scotland and the Royal Scottish Academy, as well as paintings, engravings and drawings from Fife’s own collections. It also offers a rare opportunity to see paintings, sketches and personal items kindly loaned by the Paton family, many on public display for the first time.
Join us for a special guided tour of the exhibition led by its curator, Lesley-Anne Lettice.
Meet in the main foyer.
