Description: | John Glover painted a large number of watercolour views of the Lake District. This type of mountain scenery was known at the time as Sublime landscape, and was admired for its awe-inspiring qualities. In this scene, a zig-zag movement into the distance is created by the meandering stream. The careful balance of the forms at each side of the picture follows a traditional compositional style. The overall bluish colouring and inked details are typical of John Glover's technique. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1793 to 1830 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Glover | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
