1800
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Stonehenge, Wiltshire is a 1800 watercolor by Malton, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a flat landscape with huge standing stones arranged in a circle. In the background, the stones look ancient and weathered, while in the distance, a few small figures and horses add scale to the scene. The sky is pale, and the ground is mostly empty except for scattered rocks. The artist focused on the mystery of the stones, making them look both grand and lonely. This was drawn in 1800 as part of a style that loved nature’s wild beauty. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
