Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history of British landscape painting executed in watercolours, from the 18th century to the early 20th century. The author discusses the medium's pioneers, the means by which they developed the genre and its subject matter, and the techniques they used. The author also comments on the critical reception of their work. In doing so, the author sets the development within the broader context of art history and artistic and technical innovation, with early painters like Samuel Scott and Paul Sandby transforming the topographical into the poetic, while later figures including Turner, Cox, and Cotman refined their techniques and forged a distinct path for British watercolour that drew praise from the likes of Ruskin. This book provides a nuanced study of how changing artistic and cultural attitudes have manifested in a particular medium, and will appeal to art historians and enthusiasts with an interest in British landscape painting.
