About the Item

A very fine early 19th Century watercolour, attributed to the Welsh painter John Downman ARA (1750-1824). The scene shows a figure pausing on a wooden footbridge crossing over the crest of a waterfall. Another fall can be seen in the distance, seemingly across a gorge. Several landscape and tree studies by Downman are characteristically similar in form and tone, and can be seen in the Tate Gallery collection. His choice of subject and compositional structure are recognisable as by an expert early 19th Century hand. Well-presented in a washline mount and fine gilt wood frame. Unsigned. On wove.

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...
