‘The Town of Siena’ by Annie Swynnerton, Manchester City Art Gallery Collection, photo courtesy of MCAG, BBC Your Paintings and the Public Catalogue Foundation
This is another of Annie Swynnerton’s paintings left to Manchester City Art Gallery by Louisa Garrett.
The way in which the Garrett circle did their best to ensure that Annie Swynnerton’s work was included in major public collections is discussed in my book – Enterprising Women: the Garretts and their circle- available online from Francis Boutle Publishers or from all good bookshops (in stock, for instance, at Foyles, Charing Cross Road).
