Description: | This tiny view appears to have been painted from the window of one of the windmills on Windmill Hills, Gateshead. Children often appeared in Myles Birket Foster's watercolours, and in this picture they are racing down the hill with kites. The landmarks of Newcastle's cathedral and castle emerge from the bluish smoky haze produced by the industry of the riverside. Myles Birket Foster was born in North Shields. Although he moved to London at an early age, he continued to visit the North East, and painted a number of views of the area. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East watercolours buildings and views art made in the North East children Gateshead leisure Newcastle industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
