Description: | John Robert Cozens made two tours to Italy, travelling as a draughtsman to wealthy art connoisseurs. This view of the Gulf of Salerno has the simplicity and grandeur that made Cozens' work admired by his contemporaries. Cozens aimed to create a poetic impression of a place, rather than just a record of its appearance. Mountain views such as this belonged to the Sublime landscape style, which was intended to produce a feeling of awe. Cozens~ pictures influenced the watercolour painters JMW Turner and Thomas Girtin. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Robert Cozens | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
