About

One of our historic and most dramatic paintings at Compton Verney- Vesuvius Erupting at Night by Pierre-Jacques Volaire, 1770s- was displayed at Kineton High School from September – December 2023. Students at the school produced a huge range of creative works in response to the painting; from 3D models and works on paper to poetry and soundscapes.

Come and see some of the amazing work on exhibition in Compton Verney from 21 March until 30 April.
