Who Painted This #30 - The Answer

"A Summer Day" past times John Sell Cotman

• Title of the artwork: A Summer Day
• Name of the creative somebody who created this artwork: John Sell Cotman, 1782-1842, British
• Date it was created: 1827 to 1837
• Media used: Watercolor as well as graphite on Medium, moderately textured, cream wove paper; Sheet: 12 1/2 x eighteen 3/8 inches (31.8 x 46.7 cm)
• Where it lives now: Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection (B1977.14.4104)

I idea this was a rather lovely ikon - which is really probable to withdraw maintain been painted inwards Cotman's studio.  It came every bit something of a daze to me to larn that inwards fact he rarely painted plein air when I visited the Cotman exhibition inwards Ocrtober end twelvemonth - run across Review: Cotman inwards Normandy - at Dulwich Picture Gallery.  He well-nigh ever painted inwards the studio - from sketchbook observations.

John Sell Cotman (1782-1842) was a leading fellow member of the Norwich school of Artists - which was the showtime provincial fine art crusade inwards the UK...... he was really much influenced past times Thomas Girtin as well as joined a sketching guild founded past times Girtin.

However...

I went through the whole introduction at the preview past times the Curator yesterday without ane time realising that non ane unmarried drawing or ikon inwards the exhibition was produced past times Cotman 'on site' piece working 'plein air'. I besides solely flora that out when I asked where his sketchbooks were. Apparently at that topographic point are no sketchbooks or whatsoever master copy drawings. All the plant inwards beingness are studio plant made from the master copy drawings.

He was ikon during what is known every bit the "golden historic menses of English linguistic communication watercolour painting"
