WILSON, Richard (1714 - 1782)
Media: oil on canvas
Size: 90.5 x 116.8 cm
Acquired: 1928; Purchase
Accession Number: NMW A 66
Wilson painted a number of landscapes before he went to Italy in 1750. This one painted about 1746-47, shows him following the careful topographical tradition learned from Netherlandish artists. It has a remarkable sensitivity to light and air. The artist drawing at an easel in the bottom left corner may be a self-portrait.
