W. Mackinnon

W. Mackinnon is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Scottish artist W. Mackinnon painted views of 18th-century Europe in watercolour. In 1798 he captured Lausanne’s steep streets and lake shimmer in a single sheet of paper. Look for the soft blues of the Rhône and the angled rooftops that still cling to the hillside today. Tap the painting itself to zoom in on the tiny boats bobbing below the city.
