Amos Green
Amos Green, Near Ingleton, Yorkshire

c. 1800

About the Item

This fine early 19th-century watercolour by British artist Amos Green (1735-1807) depicts an asperous gorge near Ingleton in Yorkshire. On either side of a shallow river, trees cling to a precipitous surface of boulders and scabrous foliage. It’s possibly a view of the Twiss, Greta or Doe. The walks from Ingleton are some of the most spectacular in the Dales. Green moved to Yorkshire in 1796 and sketched its sublime environs extensively. Together with his wife, Harriet, the pair undertook numerous study tours and filled their sketchbooks with picturesque views. Via a shared passion for nature and art, they were bound in perpetuity. Following Green’s death, Harriet drafted his memoirs and we’ve written extensively on the subject in his biography. Inscribed, housed in a later frame and glazed. Labels & Inscriptions: Gallery label on reverse. Provenance: With the collector Graham Watson / With Abbot and Holder, London / Private collection, UK.

Paul Sandby Munn RWS, Mallevy, Merioneth, North Wales, Watercolour
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This early 19th-century watercolour by British artist Paul Sandby Munn RWS (1773-1845) depicts a riverside view at Mallevy in North Wales. Amid a hasty world where technology consumes our waking hours, few of us find the time to consider the subtle beauties of quiet watercolours. Yet, during the late 18th century, when Munn began producing his skillfully-rendered views, this style of drawing was considered an act of rebellion. Indeed, to such an extent that, together with several associates, Munn contributed to one of the most vital artistic circles in British history - the “Brothers” sketching club. Held every Saturday, the sketching club sought to raise the status of landscape watercolours from their lowly position as mere copies of nature. Fellow artists such as John Varley, Thomas Girtin and John Sell Cotman...
