THE new year means a new exhibition for one Oxford art gallery owner, and this time he is focusing on the Victorians.
Aidan Meller – gallery director of the Meller Merceux Gallery group, with galleries in Broad Street and Oxford High Street – is preparing a Victorian exhibition.
Victorian Masterpieces of Childhood will feature works showing children from the 1800s. Mr Meller, 41, said: “There will be 30 works showcasing Victorian works that are exploring childhood. They are remarkable.
“The exhibition offers a remarkable insight into the rarified lives of aristocratic Victorian children.
“Some of the works are reminiscent of the world of the TV show Downton Abbey."
The exhibition opens on Thursday, January 22 at the Aidan Meller Gallery, in Broad Street.
