Frederick William Watts
The River Wye at Chepstow - 19th Century Oil Painting English Summer Landscape

Circa 1850

About the Item

‘The River Wye at Chepstow’ by Frederick William Watts (1800-1870). Frederick Watts entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1817 where he was awarded two medals of excellence. During his long and successful career F.W. Watts was considered the most important follower of John Constable (1776-1837), but although the two artists undoubtedly shared a passion for depicting waterside vistas of the English countryside Watts’ brushwork is lighter and more delicate, and his palette is quite distinctive; important factors in determining the authenticity of his paintings which he invariably left unsigned. Between 1821 to 1862, Frederick Watts exhibited 76 times at Royal Academy, 108 at the British Institution, and 65 with the Royal Society of British Artist at the Suffolk Street Gallery. Today, paintings by F.W. Watts can be found in the Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Liverpool, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
