After the Norwich School After the Norwich School This book takes, as its starting point, sites that feature in paintings, or prints, made by Norwich School artists. For each site I have photographed a contemporary landscape scene. My aim was not to try to replicate the scene painted in the 1800s, but simply to use that as the point where I would take the photograph, thus producing a picture of Norwich today. IMPORTANT This ebook has been produced as part of my studies with OCA for the landscape photography module of my Creative Arts degree course. It is not set to be published, but simply to allow my tutors, assessors and fellow students to see, judge and comment on my work.

  • (1802-1834) Chapter 1 Harriet Martineau Grows up in Norwich
    Part 1 Early Life and Celebrity (1802-1834) Chapter 1 Harriet Martineau Grows Up in Norwich (1802-1819) When Harriet (the Martineaus’ sixth child) was born on 12 June 1802, Thomas’s Spanish trade was suffering from the effects of the Napoleonic wars, and the family moved from Gurney Court across Magdalen Street to a plain, three-story brick house.1 There, carts could pass through an arched passage from Magdalen Street to Thomas’s warehouse off Boswell’s Court. Utilitarian sheds bordered a planting strip where the Martineau children made gardens and where Harriet and James once tried to dig to China but as somber Victorian children decided instead to make a “grave” to test the feeling of being dead. Harriet Martineau’s autobiography, completed in 1855 when she thought she was dying, cites similar grim incidents from her childhood. Yet the Martineau family enjoyed games and carefree occasions--the girls had hoops and all played at battledore and cards. On special days Thomas let the children play among the bolts of cloth in his warehouse (Harriet remembered with anguish running off to play hide-and-seek and leaving behind her childhood friend who had lost a leg). Another traumatic moment for Harriet arose when the family climbed to the long-windowed room, built originally for weavers, to gaze at a rare comet. Strangely, the anxious nine-year-old Harriet could not see it.2 The accomplishments of Norwich writers and artists of the early nineteenth century like William Taylor--a respected scholar and translator of German literary works--or the painters John Sell Cotman and John Crome scarcely touched Thomas Martineau’s family.

  • The Shepherd on the Hill: Comparative Notes on English and German Romantic Landscape Painting 1810-1831
    The Shepherd on the Hill: Comparative Notes on English and German Romantic Landscape Painting 1810-1831. Conference paper Conference: ‘Romantic Correspondences’, The Centre for Regional Cultures, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, Newstead Abbey. Date: 4 November 2005 Abstract The solitary figure in the landscape can be understood in relation to certain, fundamentally Romantic traits – solitude, contemplation, oneness with nature – and is most notably found in the work of Caspar David Friedrich. Less recognised however is the fact that the solitary figure can also be found in the landscape paintings of many English artists of the early nineteenth century, particularly within depictions of commonly held pastoral landscapes. Within the traditional terms of English art history, the landscape genre of this period has also been closely associated with the concept of Romanticism. This paper will study the use of the solitary figure in paintings of open, common field landscape, and will compare two paintings: Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Landscape with Rainbow (The Shepherd’s Complaint)’ of 1810, and John Sell Cotman’s ‘The Shepherd on the Hill’ of 1831. It will examine the more conventional Romantic resonances of Friedrich’s painting in order to question whether Cotman’s shepherd is a comparative example of Romantic solitude and contemplation, or whether it was more of a prosaic image of a typically English ‘rustic type’ at a time when a particular sense of national identity was emerging that was closely associated with the countryside and country life. From there, it is hoped that we can begin to reconsider the conventional Romantic image of English landscape painting in the first three decades of the nineteenth century.

  • A Self-Guided Trail of Crome's City
    WALKING A self-guided trail of Crome’s city John Crome lived and worked in Norwich all his life. From humble beginnings he became a drawing master and was one of the principal founders of the Norwich Society of Artists. He remains one of the country’s great Romantic painters, rooting his work in the local landscape. During the first lockdown of 2020, local photographer Nick Stone followed in Crome’s footsteps, walking the deserted city streets exploring Crome’s Norwich and pinpointing the painter’s locations and capturing them with a fresh eye. This walk takes you to places Crome would have known and visits some of the locations he painted. John Crome was born in 1768 in The Griffin pub close to Norwich Cathedral. The son of a weaver, born at a time when the city was at the centre of an important international trade in textiles. In the 1780s over thirty different trades associated with textiles were located in the noisy and colourful area known as ‘Norwich Over the Water’, north of the River Wensum. The river formed the artery for the textile industry, and the warehouses, dyers’ premises and quays were well known to Crome and featured frequently in his works. Norwich at the time was known for radical inclination towards art. The only criteria to politics, and inns and taverns in the city were join were submitting an artwork, and securing home to societies and clubs where ideas were a place via a ballot of existing members. By shared, and debates were held. The Rifleman 1805, the Society had enough pieces of art pub hosted ‘The Dirty Shirt Club’ where men to present their first exhibition, hosted at Sir could go in working clothes, to drink, smoke Benjamin Wrench’s Court which was also to and socialise.

  • Norwich Castle January – June 2018 Including Norwich Castle: the Square Box on the Hill Plus Events at Museum of Norwich & Strangers’ Hall
    What’s On Exhibitions, talks, events & activities Norwich Castle January – June 2018 Including Norwich Castle: The Square Box on the Hill Plus events at Museum of Norwich & Strangers’ Hall www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk Visual Arts Visual Arts Standing atop the largest man-made mound in the country, Norwich Castle has dominated the City’s skyline since the 12th century; but what is the story of this iconic and much-loved square box on the hill? Built as a royal palace, Norwich Castle was a Norman showpiece with lavishly-decorated interiors ft for a king. By the 14th century, it had become the County Gaol confning Norfolk’s prisoners within its walls. With the opening of the new prison at the end of the 19th century, the Castle’s fate was uncertain, until its conversion into a public museum, which it remains to this day. This exhibition illustrates Norwich Castle’s rich history through a stunning mixture of prints, models, paintings, architectural plans, memorabilia and archives, many of which have never been on display before. It also showcases the latest exciting plans for the Castle’s future as part of the Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The City’s most prominent landmark has housed and infuenced a number of surprises in its 900-year history, from a Japanese Samurai suit of armour to a 1970s draught bitter; from fne medieval jewellery to graffti etched in stone. See all of these and more in this unique tribute to Norwich’s square box on the hill.

  • The Norwich School of Lithotomy
    THE NORWICH SCHOOL OF LITHOTOMY by A. BATTY SHAW A NOTABLE cHAPTER in the long history of human bladder stone has been contributed from Norwich and its county of Norfolk and this came about for several reasons. The main reason was that Norfolk enjoyed the unenviable reputation during the latter part of the eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth centuries of having the highest incidence of bladder stone among its inhabitants of any county in Great Britain. As a result of thishigh prevalence ofbladderstone a local tradition of surgical skill in the art of lithotomy emerged and when the first general hospital in Norfolk, the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital was founded in 1771-2 there were appointed to its surgical staff local surgeons who were most experienced lithotomists. Their skill was passed on to those who followed them and earned for the hospital a European reputation for its standards of lithotomy. Sir Astley Cooper" when at the height of his professional fame and influence in 1835 spoke of these standards as follows, 'the degree of success which is considered most correct [for lithotomy] is that taken from the results of the cases at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital'.2 There were not only able lithotomists on the early staff of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital but also physicians who wrote on the medical aspects of bladder stone with special reference to the problems of incidence and chemical analysis. These writings were based on the registers of admissions to the hospital which were kept from the hospital's inception. The keeping of a hospital register was an uncommon practice at the turn of the eighteenth century as is revealed by Alexander Marcet3 in a mono- graph on calculous disease of the urinary tract which he published in 1817.

The year 2010-11 has been another period of change for the Service, with continued budget pressures. At the same time, it has been the goal of the team that we continue to deliver high quality and accessible services, during what has been time of cost saving. This is also at a time when there is a national trend towards reduced physical access to museums. A challenging time indeed. NMAS is now part of the larger grouping within NCC, called Community Services. This move has provided an opportunity for us to re-evaluate our priorities, in order to play our role within this newly formed Department, alongside our longer-established partners in the NRO and Libraries. We appreciate that there is a need to continue to do what we do well but, at the same time, to explore new and better ways of providing and developing our services.
