At Aachen (Aix-La-Chapelle) is a 1840 watercolor by Edward Robinson, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet street with a long, old building on the left. The building has tall windows and a tower with a pointed top. Three people walk down the street—two adults and a child—with trees lining the right side. The artist used soft colors and light brushstrokes to show the scene. The buildings look worn, and the sky is pale, giving a calm, everyday feel. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
