Description: | The artist noted on the back of the picture that it shows old byres (cattle barns), on a Berkshire farm. Helen Allingham's watercolours presented a nostalgic, old-fashioned view of the countryside. Sometimes she modified the buildings in the scenes she painted, replacing tiles with thatch, and including other old-fashioned features. Her watercolours were influenced by Myles Birket Foster's rural subjects, and the bright colours and careful detail of his scenes. Her pictures were extremely popular. She lived in Surrey. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists animals watercolours art buildings natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
