Description: | The topographical artist Edward Dayes visited the North on several occasions after 1790, and many of his best watercolours are of northern subjects. This view of the Lake District in 1795 is a fine example of Dayes's tendency to use a blue monochrome wash over pencil and pen outlines. Towards the end of the century, Turner, and Dayes's pupil, Thomas Girtin, revolutionised the watercolour by beginning to paint instead in tints of pure colour. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1795 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Edward Dayes | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
