Charles Hamilton Smith

Charles Hamilton Smith is a British Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Charles Hamilton Smith painted the landscapes and ruins he saw while traveling, using fine brushes and watercolors. These two works show Jordan’s desert city Petra framed by rocky cliffs and Mount Tabor rising above green slopes, both places he visited between 1818 and 1846. His steady lines and soft washes bring ancient stone and quiet hills to paper. To see more of his clear-eyed views, tap Mount Tabor.
