Download or read book The Great Age of British Watercolours 1750 1880 written by Andrew Wilton and published by Te Neues Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The revolution in watercolours of the later eighteenth century and its Victorian aftermath is acknowledged to be one of the greatest triumphs of British art. Its effect was to transform the modest tinted drawing of the topographer into a powerful and highly flexible means of expression for some of the Romantic era's greatest artists, among them Thomas Girtin, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. The painters of the next generation were no less ambitious, and the range of subject-matter and technical inventiveness that was sustained for much of the Victorian period was to set a standard in watercolour painting that was without equal abroad." "In this magnificently illustrated survey of the great age of British watercolours, Andrew Wilton and Anne Lyles trace the development of attitudes to landscape and to the human figure in the landscape from 1750 to 1880. They show how once the traditional pen and ink drawing and its augmented washes of colour had been abandoned in order to paint directly in watercolours without pen outlines, the way was open for the powerful Romantic landscapes of the following decade and beyond, many of which were painted in the wild mountainous regions of Wales and Scotland." "During the nineteenth century, as the gilt-framed exhibition watercolour began to challenge the long-established oil painting in terms of size and in brilliance of colour and effect, the range of subject-matter was broadened to include scenes of country and town life from every part of Britain and, increasingly, from the Continent too. By mid-century the Near East was attracting many of the greatest Victorian watercolourists, including J. E. Lewis, David Roberts and Edward Lear. Other leading Victorians who regularly worked in watercolour include the Pre-Raphaelite painters John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt, and the American-born James McNeill Whistler, all of whom are included in this book."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Mellon (1907--1999) assembled one of the world’s greatest collections of British drawings and watercolors. In his memoirs he wrote of their “beauty and freshness… their immediacy and sureness of technique, their comprehensiveness of subject matter, their vital qualities, their Englishness.” This catalogue celebrating the centenary of Mellon's birth features eighty-eight outstanding watercolors from the fifty thousand works of art on paper with which he endowed the Yale Center for British Art. The selection spans the emergence of watercolor painting in the mid-18th century to its apogee in the mid-19th. These works highlight the diversity of British watercolors, showcasing both landscape and figurative works by some of the principal artists working in the medium, including Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Rowlandson, William Blake, and J. M.W. Turner.

This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract This study describes an antique watercolor box from Reeves with 24 colors in cakes, dating around 1800. A second box from T. Reeves & Son dating between 1790-1799 is added and described. A concise chronological overview shows which family members of the Reeves’ family and their associates lead the firm during the Regency period. Old city maps of London indicate the various shop locations and a brief look is taken at early 18th century shops of color men and the production of watercolor paint in cakes. The dating of the watercolor box and its contents raise a number of questions. To position the box with contents in the correct period, an overview of available trade cards is consulted. Stamps on cakes are linked to the various family members, who led the Reeves firm in the Regency period.Based on the contents of comparable watercolor boxes relationships are established with user groups, quality criteria of the paint and color theories in the 17th and 18th century. An attempt has been made the 17th and 18th century color theories, in which light refraction, the distinguishing of colors and physical laws are important, to connect with pigments, tinctures, and mixing paint colors to make visual art works possible. Overviews of pigments and paint tincture by a number of authoritative authors in the 17th and 18th centuries are highlighted. The hidden selection rules of the colors and their conscious positioning in the box are discussed. Instructional illustrated is the visually completing of the missing paint cakes. Also included are some overviews of the selection of watercolor paint cakes in comparable boxes. The restored boxes and their contents are illustrated in a number of images. Finally, each of the 24 color cakes in the box of 1799-1800 is treated by their description in the 18th century literature. An extensive overview, with mainly 17th and 18th century sources on pigments, dyes, paint preparation, color theories, etc., is affixed. Added are contemporary authors who have written about the Reeves firm. Finally, nine attachments are available about a scheme of painting substances by Robert Dossie, the management structure of the Reeves firm till the 20th century, a pricelist of Robert Ackermann's paints in 1818, a text fragment in Ackermann’s Repository of Arts (1813), a reconstructed advertisment text in the Derby Mercury of April 10, 1794, a recepy for a binding mixture to make watercolor cakes, an article about an other way of making watercolor cakes of dough, text from W.T. Whitley about ‘Artists and their Friends in England’ during the Regency period and a list of authorities in the 18th-century literature on colors in the form of tinctures, based on natural resources and natural solvents and binders.
