1745

Dominant colour
Rocks with distant village is a 1745 by Robert Price, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a quiet village nestled at the base of rocky cliffs. The water in the foreground is lightly sketched, while the buildings and church spire are simple but clear. The mountains in the background are rough and textured, with patches of shadow and light. The artist used soft, muted colors and loose lines to suggest depth without detail. The focus is on the shapes of the land and sky, not the tiny village below. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
