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.

WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE?
The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's.
Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun.
Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative to get the best image quality. Finally, the print is washed and fixed with water to stop the reaction and prevent fading.
