Extract: David Tress is one of Britain's foremost landscape painters. The paintings and graphite drawings in this new exhibition, created especially for Bath, are in one sense a southern extension to Tress's Chasing Sublime Light project, in which he revisited the 18th-century artistic tours made by the likes of Girtin and Turner in north Wales and England.

For Landmarks, David took a tour in and around Bath, a city and a landscape that have preoccupied countless artists from Gainsborough, Rowlandson and Turner to John Nash, Sickert and the Brotherhood of Ruralists.
