OverviewColonel Stuart Wortley (1932-1980) played a pivotal role in the early history of British photography. He was an innovator as well as a promoter and practitioner of the medium. Although he produced a varied body of work, the present exhibition focuses on his startling beautiful and dramatically expressive images of sea and sky, pictures that made his reputation in the late 1860s and early 1870s. The artist has not been the subject of a retrospective since 1898, several years after his death, when a group of his photographs were shown in London. With the passage of time, his work gradually disappeared from view. It is only recently, as interest in the history of photography has grown, that a few of his images have become known to a handful of specialists and collectors. Given the innovative character of his work, Stuart Wortley's contribution to the field deserves greater recognition.
