Denham Bridge upon the Tavy

William Payne British

Not on view

Payne worked as an engineer in Plymouth before moving to London in 1790, to pursue a career as a landscape painter. Here, his innate interest in man-made structures combines with a Picturesque vocabulary. He absorbed the latter from William Gilpin and here applied it to a subject near the town of Tavistock in his home county of Devon.
