Description: | This large and very finished watercolour shows a frost fair, where stalls and tents have been set up on a frozen river or lake. The style and the subject matter of this scene show the influence of seventeenth century Dutch paintings. Luke Clennell was an apprentice of the north-east artist and wood-engraver Thomas Bewick from 1797 to 1804. He moved to London in 1804 but continued to work as a wood-engraver. From about 1810 he concentrated on painting watercolours. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Luke Clennell | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
