Landscape Artist of the Year

The search for Britain’s finest landscape artist continues as Landscape Artist of the Year celebrates its milestone tenth anniversary. This year, the competition travels across the UK, visiting breathtaking locations that challenge artists to capture the essence of the landscape.

In this episode, presenter Stephen Mangan takes us to the vibrant city of Bristol, where artists set up their easels on a picturesque terrace overlooking one of the country’s most iconic landmarks—the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Spanning the dramatic Avon Gorge, this Victorian engineering marvel has inspired countless painters and photographers for over 150 years. Today, a select group of talented artists must distill its beauty onto canvas in just four hours.
