Finn Campbell-Notman won the 2023 Landscape Artist of the Year prize on Sky Arts

Artwork from the winning 2023 Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year has gone on display at a South Yorkshire museum.

The painting by Finn Campbell-Notman was donated to Barnsley's Cannon Hall Museum by TV company Storyvault Films.

Mr Campbell-Notman said taking part in the televised competition had been a "fulfilling" experience.

A 17th Century tapestry, titled The Judgement of Paris, has also gone on display at the site after repair work.

Mr Campbell-Notman's artwork Fail We May, Sail We Must, was inspired by his travels across Holland.

He said: "Taking part in Landscape Artist of the Year was both a fulfilling and fittingly itinerant existence."

Councillor Robin Franklin, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said he was "delighted to add such an incredible piece of artwork to our collections".

A tapestry woven in Brussels which has been on display at the museum since the 1950s has also returned to the public galleries.

It was restored as part of a £25,500 conservation project, a council spokesperson said.
