Description: | Housing in Wolverhampton was generally of a very poor standard in the 19th and early 20th century.This gloomy picture, painted in muddy brown colours, captures the poverty and squalor of the time. Notice St Peter's Church placed centrally in the background, appearing shrouded in fog. North Street is just a few minutes walk away from Wolverhampton Art Gallery.John Fullwood worked in the West Midlands during the last quarter of the 19th Century after studying Paris, and was a talented landscape painter, etcher and illustrator.
Oil painting of a dark street, surrounded by simple brown buildings. In the centre of the street are three figures and a dog huddled together. In the background a church spire stands tall above the rooftops. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Housing John Fullwood Trail Fine arts Landscape Oil painting Oil Paintings Architecture Buildings Wolverhampton Painting Trail Victorian period Art collections | Temporal: | 1874 - 1930
