Description: | This view shows the Old Mill on Bensham Bank, Gateshead. In the distance, the smoking chimneys of Newcastle and the spire of St. Nicholas' Church are just visible. Most of the picture is taken up with a view of a large mound behind a line of trees. This type of composition is typical of the approach of Pre-Raphaelite artists, who tried to take a fresh look at nature and avoid conventional compositions. George Boyce was one of the second wave of Pre-Raphaelite artists, and was a friend of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. George Boyce visited the North East several times. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1864 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | George Price Boyce | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
