Lowry visited this park, as well as the Salford Museum and Art Gallery seen to the right on various occasions when he attended the Salford School of Art from 1915. This was in the same building as the gallery, but the artist only visited it intermittently and found quite restrained and conservative after his experience with Impressionist teacher Adolphe Valette, who had a famously liberal approach to Fine Arts education. He was teaching at the Manchester School of Art, which Lowry also attended for some evening courses between 1905-15. T.G. Rosenthal presents a fitting analysis of Lowry’s painting in his book L.S. Lowry - The Art and the Artist, describing it in the following way:
“An almost pure landscape version of Peel Park [displaying] a substantial, unaccountable crowd taking up about forty per cent of the height of the painting and its entire width. It is however a work of considerable beauty and, as in the Necropolis painting of the same period, Lowry has almost as much Joy with the strange range of greens for the grass surface and the healthy trees in leaf as he does with the white.”
