Description: | This is an important watercolour view by David Cox in his early style. Thin watercolour washes in shades of grey have been added to the careful pencil outline of Westminster Abbey, London. Its impressive architecture is contrasted with the jumble of old houses in the foreground, which are painted in warmer yellow and brown hues. Bright sunlight and strong shadows emphasise the rather flat patterning of the shapes of the buildings. David Cox was one of most outstanding watercolour artists of the 19th century. He was based in Birmingham. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours art buildings | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
