Views Near Scarborough: From Ayton & Scalby. Pair of Sepia Watercolours with pencil.

Descripción

2 complimentary watercolour views of the English Countryside nr Scarborough in Yorkshire by Francis Nicholson the father of watercolour painting and landscape artist around about 1790. They each measure; approx 17 x 20 cm and are mounted on cream paper. They are both uniformly framed and glazed. He lived at Whitby, Knaresborough and also Ripon. His work was very sought after by the London cognoscenti, and he moved there in about 1803-4. So these being Yorkshire views I image they were done before the move, or perhaps shortly afterwards? He did exhibit at the Royal Academy in the late 1780's some of his views of Yorkshire & Scotland. He was a founder member of The Society of Painters in Watercolours and exhibited many times with them. A Pioneer of early lithography. Much admired by Turner. He has a blue plaque on Hungate St, Pickering. *Provenance: From the estate of William Podmore of Consall Hall, Nr Stoke. He was a pioneer of the Jet engine with Sir Frank Whittle. Bought with books and other items. N° de ref. del artículo 4236
