York is our heartland. The Braithwaite Gallery sits in the heart of this extraordinary ancient city, and our collection of York art reflects that deep connection — curated with care from artists who know and love these streets, walls, and skylines as well as we do.
From the soaring towers of York Minster to the crooked timber frames of The Shambles, from the medieval city walls at dusk to the River Ouse in every season, our York collection spans original paintings, limited edition prints, and open edition prints across a wide range of styles — traditional watercolours, bold contemporary oils, atmospheric nocturnes, and everything in between.
York is one of the most haunted cities in the world, and that spirit runs through some of our most distinctive work. Mark Braithwaite's celebrated nocturnal paintings capture the city after dark — candlelit streets, ghostly figures, and the ancient walls glowing under moonlight. If you're drawn to the mysterious side of York, you'll find it here.
We also have a soft spot for the unexpected. Alongside the classic views, you'll find York art with a twist — witty, playful, and genuinely original takes on the city that make for memorable gifts and conversation pieces.
Whether you're looking for an affordable print to brighten a wall, a special gift for someone who loves the city, or an investment in original artwork, there's something here to suit every budget and every taste.
