Henry William Burgess
Henry William Burgess is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Henry Burgess painted sweeping Alpine views in watercolour around 1822, when British artists were first bringing back vivid sketches from the Continent. Try his Bridge at Sallanches, and the Aiguille de Varens, a delicate sheet where sharp peaks rise above a narrow wooden bridge. See how the light catches the rock face and how the stream below mirrors the sky.
