George and John Smith were brothers of William Smith, represented in our founder's collection by a Cavern Scene by Firelight (glaha 43816). Besides their activities as painters, the two brothers engraved a delightful series of prints published by John Boydell in 1770. Thirty-two of the prints were after their own landscape compositions, and the remainder reproduced seventeenth-century Dutch designs by Rembrandt and others. The plates had been prepared over a period of some fifteen years. The resulting volume offers a comprehensive account of their work. It is bound in a 19th century binding. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VOLUME : LANDSCAPE : FRONTISPIECE : ENGLAND : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
