Representing the Rising depicts Newport’s 1839 Chartist Uprising as captured by artists past and present, exploring the contemporary scene, portraiture and commemoration, pulling together work from the Museum’s impressive Chartist art collection alongside significant loans and reproductions. Every picture featured in the exhibition is reproduced in the catalogue, with full details and explanatory background text in each case.
