John Sell Cotman: A collection of 166 works (HD)

Description: "Landscape artist, John Sell Cotman was one of the most important figures in the development of 19th century English watercolour painting. Born in Norwich he was - along with John Crome (1768-1821) - one of the prominent leaders of the Norwich School of painters, a group of East Anglian landscape artists who were influenced by 17th century Dutch Realists. Little is known of his beginnings in art, but he did spend time in London, and toured Wales and Yorkshire making sketches and watercolours. He returned to Norwich in 1806. His style was highly original; his landscape painting employs clearly defined areas of colour structured by abstract patterns and shapes. His most famous landscape paintings were those he made on his trip to Yorkshire between 1803 and 1805, such as Chirk Aqueduct (1804, Victoria & Albert Museum, London); and Greta Bridge (1805, British Museum, London). He also painted several marine paintings, such as The Mouth of the Yare (Sphinx Fine Art, London). Between 1810-21 he published etchings of the antiquities of Normandy and Norfolk which were warmly received. He was survived by his sons John Joseph Cotman (c.1812-78) and Miles Edmund Cotman (1811-58) - both painters who also became members of the Norwich School."
