1800
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Classical Landscape is a 1800 by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, depicting Storm, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a rocky hillside with a small temple and a tall tower perched on cliffs. Dark, heavy clouds fill the sky, and the waves crash against the shore below. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest movement in the water and clouds. The stormy mood makes the scene feel dramatic and wild. The temple looks ancient, standing alone against the rough landscape. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature and emotion in their work.
A wash drawing titled *Classical Landscape* was created by John Sell Cotman in 1800.
