1850
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
On the Avon, near Bristol is a 1850 watercolor by Francis Danby, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a winding river cutting through green hills under a partly cloudy sky. The water looks calm, with a few small boats floating near the shore. In the distance, a village sits on a hillside, and the land slopes down to meet the riverbank. The artist focused on soft, blended colors to make the scene look peaceful. The hills and sky are light, while the river and rocks stay darker. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
