Beneath the Surface Exhibition Teaser |

Here at Wentworth Woodhouse, we're celebrating the 300th birthday of artist, George Stubbs, by returning his paintings to Wentworth Woodhouse and displaying them publicly in South Yorkshire for the first time!
George Stubbs has long been revered as a ground-breaking and curious artist, possessing an exceptional ability to present animals with a human-like quality. In 1762, Stubbs spent some time at Wentworth Woodhouse, working on paintings commissioned by the Second Marquess of Rockingham.
In our largest exhibition to-date, Beneath the Surface features Stubbs’ work alongside pieces by contemporary artists, including Ugo Rondinone, Mark Wallinger and Tracey Emin, who have drawn on similar themes. These artists also look beneath the surface, exploring animal and human experiences through their innovative and thought-provoking work.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a vibrant programme of workshops, talks and tours, including activities in the Stubbs Hub and a scavenger hunt for the little ones, to help everyone get the most from the artworks on display.
The exhibition is open now until 03rd November 2024. To find out more and book tickets, visit wentworthwoodh...
Any money made from our exhibitions goes straight into the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust and contributes towards the restoration of this magnificent House & Gardens.
