To promote Northampton’s Parks\, Northampton’s Active Quarter was formed as a partnership to make our greenspaces easier and more enjoyable to use. Collectively\, the partnership has secured over £1\,000\,000 of funding for our local parks. Declan\, from the University of Northampton\, will talk about the partnership and how they are working with residents to make sure parks have a prominent role in peoples’ lives for years to come. \nRefreshments available to purchase.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, landscape was considered an unworthy subject for serious artistic exploration. \nNorthampton Museum & Art Gallery \nUntil Sunday 4 October \nWhen landscape did appear in paintings\, it was often relegated to the background—merely a setting for religious or historical scenes. \nThis perception began to shift in the 17th century with the work of Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own right—one that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, landscape was considered an unworthy subject for serious artistic exploration. \nNorthampton Museum & Art Gallery \nUntil Sunday 4 October \nWhen landscape did appear in paintings\, it was often relegated to the background—merely a setting for religious or historical scenes. \nThis perception began to shift in the 17th century with the work of Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own right—one that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n
