Old Bridge Venice, D’oyly John
Location: North Corridor, City Hospital
Brought up in Durban, South Africa, Cecil Rochfort D’oyly John became a widely recognised painter for several decades after World War II.
He painted views of unspoilt South of France and the Mediterranean as he lived in Cannes for several years before moving to England.
During consultation with patients and staff, seaside works and works of holiday scenes were always popular and stimulated memory and conversation.
