The city’s first public art gallery, the Grade I listed building is home to fine and decorative arts built around the collection of Sir William Holburne. The view of the museum from the beginning of Great Pulteney Street.

Matiisse, Dance Movement & A Still Life with Goldfish II

Francis Hayman’s David Garrick in “Richard III” & Thomas Gainsborough’s Dr. Rice Charleton

Also his William Wollaston

Giuseppe Plura – Marble Group: Diana and Endymion

 

Arthur Atherley by Sir Thomas Lawrence. I include this one as the lad’s face gave me pause.

The great Alan Ramsey painted John Sargent the Elder in 1753 & his son John in 1749

For some reason I missed the artists names.

The view back down Great Pulteney Street. I love the below street gardens with, being more protected flow plant to stay green longer.

The Apple Tree is the local in my hotel.  A good conversation with Mike & his bartender daughter and then I decided to visit a whisky bar Mike recommended, The Hideout were I was told to try a “Cherrysmasher” a combo of Ardberg Scotch, Chartreuse & gin.
