Landscape with river and mountains is a 1795 watercolor by Joshua Reynolds, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a river winding through a green valley. A small village sits near the water, with a church and a few houses. Dark clouds loom over the hills in the background. The artist used loose brushstrokes to show light and shadow. The sky looks stormy, but the village below stays calm. Look up Romanticism to see how artists used nature like this.
A watercolour landscape by Reynolds from 1795 depicts a river winding through a mountainous terrain under a sky filled with large grey clouds.
