1790
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Islands Khalxi and Prinkipos, Sea of Marmora is a 1790 watercolor by William Daniell, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet waterway with small boats floating near the shore. The land is flat and dotted with trees, and a few buildings sit along the water’s edge. The sky is pale, and the whole scene looks soft and hazy. The artist used light colors and gentle brushstrokes to make the scene feel peaceful. The boats and buildings are small, so the water and sky take up most of the space. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
