Corinth - is a 1845 watercolor by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a row of old stone columns standing in a rocky landscape. Behind them, jagged mountains rise up, painted in soft blues and whites. The ground is dry with patches of green and brown, and the sky is pale and distant. The columns look like ruins, maybe from an ancient temple. The artist used light watercolors to keep it simple but dreamy. Check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature and ruins to tell stories.
One of twelve landscape views presented in oval vignettes, the work is housed in a maroon Morocco case with gilt detailing and titled *Eastern Sketches*. It was once attributed to Sir John Gardner Wilkinson, according to the Searight Archive.
