Frank Brangwyn: The Skinners' Hall Murals

About

Eight mural panels by Sir Frank Brangwyn RA will go on public display for the first time at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft in a remarkable new exhibition.  The large-scale paintings were commissioned by The Skinners' Company 1901-1012 for Skinners' Hall in London and depict key moments in the history of the ancient City of London Livery company, which can trace its origins to pre-Roman times.  

Brangwyn was a prolific artist  who worked for William Morris in his early career.  He owned property in Ditchling from 1917 until his death in 1956.  The exhibition will provide context for his time spent in the village's thriving artist community, displaying his etchings, photography, ceramics and furniture alongside works by his peers.
