James Howard Burgess

James Howard Burgess painted quiet, precise street scenes in 19th-century England. His oil painting All Saints' Church Tower, Queen Street, Derby shows a soaring Gothic church rising above a row of modest brick houses, the sky a soft, overcast gray. Burgess belonged to the same era as the Pre-Raphaelites, though without their bright colors or moralizing detail.

Tap All Saints' Church Tower, Queen Street, Derby to step into a narrow Victorian lane and watch the light play across stone and slate.
