Fine Art Society, Art gallery in City of Westminster, England.

The Fine Art Society is an art gallery housed in a Victorian building with ornamental facade details and large display windows. The Grade II listed structure spans multiple floors containing separate exhibition spaces.

Founded in February 1876, this venue pioneered a new exhibition model by being the first gallery in London to dedicate entire shows to individual artists. This approach transformed how contemporary art was presented to the public.

The gallery houses a mix of British artworks spanning from the 17th century to recent times. Visitors encounter paintings, sculptures, and prints from different artistic periods displayed throughout the rooms.

The building contains multiple levels with separate gallery areas, allowing visitors to view contemporary and historical works at the same time. Natural light from the large windows makes it easy to appreciate the artworks throughout your visit.

In the 1880s, the gallery commissioned American artist James McNeill Whistler to travel to Venice and create a series of new works. His etchings from that period influenced and improved British printing methods.
