Description: | The view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill was famous. The ancient castle can be seen on rising ground on the left of the picture, with the arches of the railway bridge behind. Fine classical buildings below contrast with crowded houses. The artist has skillfully managed the transition from the bright foreground colours to the grey background scene. Thomas Miles Richardson was a leading Newcastle artist. This is one of his fine large watercolours designed to capture the attention of buyers and critics at exhibition. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1843 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Miles Richardson (Jnr.) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
