Have you been to the Laing Art Gallery recently? Did you know a group of our staff and students have developed a new tour of some of their most celebrated exhibits? Find out more ⬇️ www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest… #WeAreNCL

A brick wall with greenery features a large sign that reads "Laing Art Gallery." Overlaid text invites exploration of the gallery's exhibits through Newcastle University's "Looking at Nature" tour.

The image features a dramatic painting titled "The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah" by John Martin, created in 1852. It shows an apocalyptic scene with fiery explosions and dark, turbulent skies. Text below reads "Martin’s painting resembles the famous and tragic mining explosions around Newcastle that gained national attention in the mid-nineteenth century. For both historical and present-day viewers, it is a reminder of the very real human cost of industrial resource extraction."

An adult holds a baby in a cozy, rustic interior setting. A fireplace and wooden furniture are visible. Text on the image includes details about the artwork, referencing Ralph Hedley and the title "Geordie Ha'ad the Bairn," dated 1881. Additional text reads "Hedley shows us that innocent ‘bairns’ are born into an environment increasingly polluted by humans. Today a similar anxiety persists, as many feel concerned about what threatens to disappear from nature and its ecosystems in future generations’ lives"

A painting titled "Fisher Folk" by Isa Thompson from 1893 depicts two individuals walking on a beach. One carries a basket on their head and the other holds a bundle. The background shows a cloudy sky and a shoreline. Text at the bottom reads "The painting offers another way of imagining our relationship with the environment, one based on living within the limits of our environment rather than exceeding them"
