About the piece

Painted in 1852 by William Wyld, this work captures a pivotal moment in history, juxtaposing a tranquil pastoral scene on Kersal Moor with the smoky, rising industrial landscape of Manchester. The atmospheric treatment of light and the detailed depiction of the city's spires and chimneys create a sense of vastness and transition.
