Mousehold Heath is a c.1820 landscape painting by the British artist John Crome. [1] [2] It depicts a view of Mousehold Heath on the eastern side of Norwich. Crome was a member of the Norwich School of artists, who depicted landscapes from Norfolk. Mousehole Heath was a historic piece of common land, but by the time Crome painted the scene it had largely been enclosed. [3]
Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been acquired in 1863. [4]
