«British watercolours, 1750-1880», by Andrew Wilton and Anne Lyles, is the study of British watercolour, published by Prestel in paperback.
The book studies the evolution of British watercolour between 1750 and 1880, when it changed from coloured drawing to an autonomous work that rivalled oil painting. With more than 300 images, Wilton and Lyles analyse the landscape as the setting for this change and place Turner, Blake, Constable and Whistler in the transition from classicism to naturalism and Romanticism.
The volume is a Prestel paperback edition of 2011; the work was originally published in 1977.
For enthusiasts of art history and watercolour, with an interest in landscape and British painting of the 18th and 19th centuries.
