Description: | This landscape shows the area outside the ancient fort of Bab-Azoun (since destroyed) at Algiers, the capital of Algeria. Bright, sun-drenched views of other lands were very popular with collectors in Europe at this time. The picture is painted in smooth washes of colour, and the details are added with tiny strokes of a fine brush. The artist has also scratched fine lines into the paint to represent dry grass and sticks lying on the earth. William Wyld lived mostly in France, but also exhibited his watercolours in London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1833 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | William Wyld | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
