THE GOLDEN AGE OF ENGLISH WATERCOLOUR EXHIBITION
15 SEPTEMBER - 5 NOVEMBER
This exhibition explores the revolution in watercolour painting around 1800. It draws on Winchester's extensive collection of English works on paper and inlcudes works by Francis Towne, Thomas Girton, John Sell Cotman, and J.M.W. Turner. The exhibition shows how these artists discovered the potential of the watercolour medium to capture fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, producing richly coloured and expressive works of art.
