Description: | The towering trees of this view are strongly influenced by earlier 17th century Dutch forest scenes. The division into brown foreground, green middle ground, and blue distance was a long-established convention for indicating distance. Other standard features are the big-leaved plants in the right foreground, and the trees framing the scene on both sides. William Westall spent several years abroad, returning permanently to England in about 1807. He painted landscape watercolours of various parts of the country, using a rather old-fashioned style. | 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 |
