From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Distant view of Rouen is a 1817 watercolor by Amelia Long, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a river winding through a landscape. In the foreground, there are hills and trees on the right, with a few buildings. On the left, the river curves around a small island with trees. The sky above is a soft grey. In the distance, you can see more hills and what looks like a city, possibly Rouen. The painting is done in watercolour, which gives it a soft, dreamy feel. The artist has used gentle colours to create a peaceful atmosphere. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy learning about the Romanticism movement.
