Description: | This large-scale view looks down on the Tyne, with the Newcastle bank of the right, and the Gateshead bank on the left. In the centre of the river is King's Meadows Island, which was later removed by dredging. The foreground is dominated by one of the windmills on the high hills above Gateshead. They were usually used for grinding corn for flour. The picture is painted in Thomas Miles Richardson's early style, using thick brushwork. The view is in the tradition of awe-inspiring Sublime landscape paintings, which were popular in this period. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East artists made in the North East Gateshead Newcastle industry people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
