Artist
Henry George Alexander Holiday
Henry George Alexander Holiday is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Holiday painted delicate watercolours of the Lake District, where open-air sketching was a common pastime after the railway arrived in 1846. In the 1850s–60s he layered translucent washes to capture the light on Hawes Water’s long, quiet slopes. The work itself is a study in greens and blues, no figures, just the water and distant fells. Tap Hawes Water to see how the paper’s grain catches the sun.
