Capability Brown and the Yorkshire Landscape

Join the Friends for a visit to see the exhibition, Noble Prospects: Capability Brown and the Yorkshire Landscape. This first ever exhibition dedicated to the Yorkshire landscapes of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783), celebrates the tercentenary of Brown’s birth and also marks the twentieth-anniversary of the founding of the Yorkshire Gardens Trust. Featured in the show will be portraits of Brown and his Yorkshire clients, original plans, drawings and documents by Brown, paintings of his creations and works of art that inspired his landscapes.

The exhibition is held in the intimate setting of the North Galleries of the Mercer Art Gallery (courtesy of Harrogate Borough Council). Our visit to the exhibition will also include an introductory talk given by Karen Lynch, exhibition Curator for Yorkshire Gardens Trust.

Own or public transport. The gallery is a 10-minute walk from the railway or bus station.
