Image description

These two paintings from Wright's last years illustrate both his distinctive style and his strong connection to the landscape and culture of Derbyshire. Sir Richard Arkwright's cotton mill, built in Cromford in 1771, is credited as being one of the first factories in England. The industrialist also built Willersley Castle as his home (completed around 1795). Arkwright may have commissioned his friend Wright to immortalise his achievements on canvas. Derby Museums has the world's largest holdings of works by Wright. However, these paintings are of special significance as they are the first pictures by the artist showing the Derbyshire landscape to be acquired by the collection.
