1859
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Landscape near Boulogne is a 1859 watercolor by George Richmond, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with gentle rolling hills. A dry, winding path cuts through the landscape, leading your eye toward distant trees and soft, hazy mountains. The colors are muted—pale greens, warm browns, and a pale sky—with just a few darker strokes to suggest shadows. The artist focused on simple, everyday nature, not dramatic scenes. The loose brushwork and light colors hint at how artists were starting to paint outdoors, capturing light as it changes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
George Richmond (28 March 1809 – 19 March 1896) was an English painter and portraitist.
