Wright Landscape

Here's another historic painting I would hate to see leave the UK: Joseph Wright of Derby's Landscape with Rainbow (1794). It seems to be Wright's copy of his own painting in the collection of the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, made for a client who left for America before it was finished. It was inherited by a local builder and was thought lost for 200 years. It comes up for grabs at Bellmans Auctioneers in Wisborough Green, Sussex, on 24th April, estimated value £70,000 to £90,000 (CLICK).
