Curator Jane Munro discusses 'Sargent, Sickert and Spencer', a new exhibition at The Fitzwilliam Museum focusing on three of the most original painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: John Singer Sargent, Walter Sickert and Stanley Spencer.
How did their lives and careers intersect? How are common factors such as travel, war and the portrayal of women expressed within their work? Bringing together nearly 70 works drawn from the Museum's own holdings, 'Sargent, Sickert and Spencer' gives visitors the chance to explore the 'hidden depths' of this world-class Cambridge collection.
