One of Britain's leading Impressionists, Knight spent much of her career painting en plein air, from her early work on the Yorkshire coast through to the urban devastation of her Nuremberg series. Highlights of the exhibition include her paintings of Romany life and the spectacular panoramas she painted below the Malvern Hills.
