Exhibition: The art of Winifred Knights

An exhibition of work by a pioneering British artist working in the first half of the 20th century.

Winifred Knights was inspired by the masterpieces of Italian Early Renaissance artists, painstakingly exact in her working methods, and even declared a genius by some.

The first major retrospective of the award-winning Slade School artist, this exhibition will reunite all her completed paintings for the first time since their creation, including the apocalyptic masterpiece The Deluge, 1920, which attracted immense critical acclaim.

Knights worked with determination and extreme attention to detail, and all five of her major works were supported by exquisite and numerous studies. As well as her five most famous works - nearly 120 intricate preparatory studies, illustrations and portraits will provide a true insight into the artistic processes of this incredibly talented and under-appreciated woman artist.
