John Throsby

John Throsby is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A late-18th-century British artist known for soft, small watercolors of everyday scenes. Throsby’s “Landscape with cottage” shows a quiet lane and a thatched roof under a wide sky, typical of the gentle, topographical style that travelers carried home as souvenirs. Nothing in the records tells us more about him, so we look straight at that single sheet of paper and the single building on it. Tap “Landscape with cottage” to step inside the scene.
