Interior view of the Sam Wilson extension of the Art Gallery. In the centre is a bronze chimneypiece by Alfred Gilbert (1854-1934) which was originally created around 1908-14 for Sam Wilson for the drawing room of his home, Rutland Lodge on Potternewton Lane. After Wilson bequeathed his art collection to the City, the chimneypiece was moved to the Art Gallery in 1925 on the death of his wife. Entitled "A Dream of Joy during a Sleep of Sorrow", the fireplace juxtaposes images of death and beauty to create a dark fantasy. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Sam Wilson Extension Art Gallery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
