A collection of vast and breathtaking skies
Starting with John Gibb’s Shades of Evening, the Estuary – the first painting acquired by the Canterbury Society of Arts in 1881 – we trace the formation of the Gallery’s collection. Finding wonder and respite in artists’ tributes to the fleeting and intangible.
