Old Masters, Modern Masters: Drawings from the Hussey Bequest

To mark Pallant House Gallery’s 40th anniversary in 2022, we invite you to explore a selection of drawings from our founding collection, the Hussey Bequest.

Old Masters, Modern Masters tells the story of Walter Hussey, Dean of Chichester Cathedral 1955-1977, and his unique private art collection – a collection that was formed with the help of his artist friends, and bequeathed to the city of Chichester. The drawings on display in the Print Room span 500 years of British and European history and include works on paper by Giulio Romano, Jean-Antoine Watteau and Thomas Gainsborough.
