🤔What is Impressionism?
Watch our short video featuring #Hunterian Art Curator Anne Dulau-Beveridge to find out more about this style of painting developed in France in the mid-to-late 19th century.
You can see works by Impressionists Pissarro and Sisley amongst the paintings and scientific instruments in our 'Colour and Light, Art and Science' display in the #reframed Hunterian Art Gallery at the University of Glasgow.
The display explores how technical transformations in science and art influenced each other at this time and how Impressionism spread beyond France, influencing the Scottish Colourists and Glasgow Boys and Girls.
Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am until 5pm. Admission free.

“There’s a myth from Islay that involves the islanders chasing the Devil from the round church…”
So begins the story of how internationally renowned graphic artist Frank Quitely created his artwork ‘No Corners to Hide’ which features in the ‘Demon Drink’ exhibition at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow.
