Cambridge Veterinary School was founded in 1949 with eight undergraduate students, but its origins go back to 1909 when the University Department of Pathology set up an outstation to study diseases of large animals. The painting owned by the School depicts a tranquil scene by artist Thomas Sidney Cooper, RA who, appropriately, was England's foremost cattle painter of the nineteenth century.
The Department is a private educational institution. If you wish to see a particular painting, please contact the collection.
