Jeanne Walpole Painting
Bradford on Avon Museum has acquired a painting by local artist Jeanne Walpole, who died recently. Jeanne painted fanciful allegorical pictures that usually featured buildings and people of the town in a medieval setting. Paintings by her, commissioned by the Museum, were the basis for the scenes of the Millennium Embroidery. The Museum’s new painting will be on show after it re-opens on January 18 2012.
