Artist

Greenaway

Greenaway is a Pre-Raphaelite artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

These delicate watercolours capture quiet, mischievous moments in domestic life during the mid-1800s. Among them, Peeped in it shows a child’s eye pressed to a keyhole, the edge of a room just visible behind the frame. Greenaway’s work belongs to the same gentle, observational tradition as early British illustration, think of children’s books before they grew loud and colored. Tap Peeped in it to step through that half-open door and see what the child saw.
