River Landscape in Wales
David Cox British
Not on view
David Cox, an acclaimed landscape painter and author of various treatises on the techniques of watercolor, visited the picturesque Welch town of Bettsw-y-Coed frequently between 1844 and 1856. This dramatic view may represent the River Llugwy in Caernarvonshire, near Bettws. Cox swept broad washes of muted color across the large sheet (a size favored for exhibition pieces), employing the pronounced texture of the paper to achieve bold atmospheric effects.
