Dieppe, from the Heights on the East is a 1824 watercolor by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a small coastal town built along a river or harbor. The buildings are packed closely together, with light-colored roofs and walls. In the foreground, a few people sit or stand on a rocky cliff, looking out over the water. Boats float in the harbor, and the sky is pale with soft clouds. Notice how the artist used light colors and smooth brushstrokes to show distance. The town looks calm, with no signs of hurry or chaos. If you like this kind of peaceful scene, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
