Painting the Weather

This site draws together the most striking weather-inspired works housed in collections around the UK by featuring over 100 paintings by 80 artists including Monet, Van Gogh and El Greco. There are special in-depth commentaries on 14 key works and routes into the show by theme, artist and where you live. Examine the paintings in detail with a high quality zoom and send e-cards. Read biographies of the artists and further information on the paintings and galleries, or listen to weatherman Bill Giles’ thoughts on selected works.

Enjoy!
