Canterbury Cathedral's art collection is free for all to enjoy
We are delighted to announce that much of Canterbury Cathedral's art collection is now free for all to enjoy online with Art UK.
The collection, dating back to the 15th Century, ranges from portraits of the past Deans of Canterbury, to depictions of historic visits by royalty, to drawings of our architecture.
Cressida Williams, Archives and Library Manager at Canterbury Cathedral, has also written an insightful piece for Art UK about the history of the art collection.
You can read it here.
It is wonderful to be able to share these historic pieces, which give us a peek into the Cathedral's lifetime of stories.
West End of the Cathedral at Canterbury, Samuel Hieronymous Grimm (1733–1794)
