A Sussex Down is a 1898 ink by Frank Short, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with rolling hills and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, a figure stands in a field, possibly working or observing the surroundings. The scene is depicted in muted tones, with the focus on the natural beauty of the landscape. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the tranquil scene. The brushstrokes are soft and gentle, adding to the overall sense of calm. The painting's style is reminiscent of Impressionism, with its emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color. For more on this style, look into Impressionism.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
