Description: | There are watercolours and oil paintings dating from the C. 17th; and prints and maps of local and topographic interest. Pencil drawings, pictures and silhouettes of three Somerset families are on loan to the museum.
One of the greatest strengths of the museum is the Chubb collection, a loan of 66 paintings and watercolours by John Chubb (1746-1818), representing a substantial proportion of the work of the Bridgwater born merchant and artist. His pictures provide a unique and often humerous insight into the characters of 18th century Bridgwater. There are also 19th century prints of his sketches of the town. | Subjects: | Watercolours Paintings Fine Art Drawings Prints | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | 5 Blake Street
