About the Item

Michael Angelo Rooker (1746–1801) St John's College, Oxford Watercolour 25 x 40 cm Depicting a lovely view over the gardens of St John's College, Oxford, this watercolour may have been produced for the 1783 edition of the Oxford Almanack. This almanack ran between 1674 and 2019 and traditionally included engravings and information about Oxford University. Michael Angelo Rooker (1746–1801) was an English painter, engraver, and illustrator, best known for his topographical landscapes and architectural scenes. His works often depicted picturesque views of British towns, universities, and ruins, executed with meticulous detail and atmospheric effects. He was particularly well-regarded for his ability to blend topographical accuracy with artistic beauty, making his works valuable both as historical records and as fine art. This watercolour exemplifies beautifully his fine attention to detail, atmosphere and architectural perspective, as he expertly depicts the façade of the college, while also capturing the long shadows cast by the trees on this seemingly warm summer's day.
