The York Collection

Artist Mark Braithwaite has been painting views of his home city since the 1990s, building an impressive portfolio of prints and paintings of York.

The collection spans several distinct series — those featuring York appear here, but each series also extends beyond the city. Explore them individually:

• Classic York — traditional photo-realistic views of the city in oil, watercolour and acrylic, available exclusively on this page
• The Silent Night Series — atmospheric York at night
• A Touch of Red — black and white pencil sketches with a signature splash of colour
• Betty's Travels — a quirky, whimsical take on York's landmarks
• Beneath the Sheets — ghostly figures haunting York's most famous streets
• City Shadows — iconic York landmarks in striking silhouette
• From the Shadows — zombies, vampires and supernatural beings inspired by York's dark history
