http://schema.org/description

  • "British artists from Hollar to Ruskin excelled in the art of the watercolour. In its delicate strength they found the perfect medium in which to express a growing response to Nature and their environment. Artists such as Sandby, Girtin, Turner, and Cotman travelled in search of romantic landscapes, picturesque ruins and dramatic urban skylines, visiting places as diverse as the Yorkshire moors, Norwich, Venice and Rome. Over 140 of their finest watercolours are reproduced here in full colour and discussed in detailed notes. In the introduction Lindsay Stainton explores the development of the relationship between Nature and Art and shows how patrons and the public could influence the life and work of an artist during this golden age of British painting. -- Book cover."
