Description: | Amalfi, on the coast of Italy, became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries because of its unspoilt architecture, sunny climate, and attractive landscape setting. This picture is painted in opaque watercolour on greyish paper. Albert Goodwin has created a soft haze of colour, painted in denser layers for the buildings and the figure with a boat. Fine detail has been added with a brush as the final step in the process. There is hardly any pencil drawing in the scene. Goodwin travelled frequently in Europe and further afield from 1872 onwards. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists watercolours views art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
