To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 2005, members of Muskham Art Group and Newark Art Club got together at the Church in North Muskham.

Here, a copy of a painting by David C. Bell called The Battle of Trafalgar was cut up into 24 roughly 4 x 4 pieces. Each member chose a piece to copy and after 2 hours the copies were put together to remake the picture.

Here’s the finished painting by the 24 individual artists:

I’m sure you’ll agree the artists all did an amazing job of reproducing this lovely painting! They had lots of fun doing it too!

Our thanks go to John Geeson from Newark Art Club for organising the event.
