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 rightone 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  URL:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/event/from-the-collection-landscapes/2025-10-02/ LOCATION:Northampton Museum And Art Gallery\, 4-6 Guildhall Rd\,\, Northampton\, Northamptonshire\, NN1 1DP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dmas_fa1992_9_d01_960.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251002T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251002T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T235118 CREATED:20250820T111248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250820T111248Z UID:129395-1759399200-1759424400@www.discovernorthampton.co.uk SUMMARY:Scrum: Women in Rugby DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Womens Rugby World Cup 2025 at Northampton Museum! \n\nNorthampton Museum & Art Gallery \n\nSaturday 16 August – Sunday 2 November 2025 \n\nJoin us at Northampton Museum as we proudly mark Northamptons role as a host city for the Womens Rugby World Cup 2025. \nExplore a dynamic exhibition that delves into the rich history of womens rugby and its growing popularity across Northamptonshire.
