Albert Edward Richardson

Albert Edward Richardson is a Post-Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Watercolour painter Albert Edward Richardson captured the carved stone of Chartres Cathedral in exact detail. In 1906 he laid down every figure and arch of the North Portico on paper, letting the grain guide his brush. His sheets show the same careful line work you’ll see on the cathedral’s west facade, only smaller and portable.

See how the jamb statues stand out against the deep blue evening sky in his Chartres Cathedral, North Portico. Tap the watercolour itself to zoom into Richardson’s stone-by-stone record of the building.
