Art Historian Donates 34 Paintings |

LONDON, ENGLAND.- Art historian Luke Herrmann has passed 34 paintings and drawings to the National Arts Collection. Among the works in the collection are Stubbs, Bonington, Thornhill, JF Lewis and Cozens which will be distributed to museums such as the Tate in London, Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester and York City Art Gallery. Herrmann stated, "I began collecting English watercolours in the later 1950s with the guidance and encouragement of Sir Bruce Ingram, one of the great collectors of those years. He left me the group which I have always thought of as my Ingram drawings to fill gaps in my collection, of which in fact, they have always been the stars. They have given me, my family and friends, constant pleasure for nearly 40 years, and I have selected their new museum homes in the hope that that pleasure can now be enjoyed by many others." Hermann inherited the works from Sir Bruce Ingram, an art collector and editor of the Illustrated London News.
