Portraits by Hubert von Herkomer
Council Chamber
Until 26th July 2026
Hubert von Herkomer's wealth came from his hard work of painting portraits. He was able to make Bushey the centre of his Art School, and built his Gothic-style mansion. Herkomer portraits can be found around the country in public displays as well as private collections. More
Lucy Kemp-Welch students
Until 19th April 2026
Lucy Kemp-Welch ran the Bushey School of Painting and later the Kemp-Welch School of Animal Painting. Sadly, no records remain but thanks to research by Grant Longman, we know the names of a number of her students. The artists practiced many different styles, subjects and media, and many of their artworks are part of our collection.
