More about this artwork

"River Scene" by David Cox, created in the mid-19th century, captures the serene ambience of a river landscape through the artist's masterful use of sketching. Composed primarily with delicate, earthy lines, Cox's work offers a glimpse into a tranquil natural setting, conveying the timeless elegance of nature’s quiet moments.In the painting, the viewer's eye is immediately drawn to the river flowing gently through the composition. Along the banks, a grouping of architectural elements, possibly rural buildings or a small village, offers a hint of human habitation in harmony with its surroundings. Prominent, yet loosely sketched trees frame the scene, their forms elegantly towering and bending over the water, guiding our gaze across the river’s course and enhancing the feeling of depth and space.This artwork, mostly defined through suggestive contours rather than detailed illustration, allows the imagination to wander, filling in gaps and adding personal nuance to the scene.

David Cox (29 April 1783 – 7 June 1859) was an English landscape painter, one of the most important members of the Birmingham School of landscape artists and an early precursor of Impressionism.

He is considered one of the greatest English landscape painters, and a major figure of the Golden age of English watercolour.

Although most popularly known for his works in watercolour, he also painted over 300 works in oil towards the end of his career, now considered "one of the greatest, but least recognised, achievements of any British painter."

His son, known as David Cox the Younger (1809–1885), was also a successful artist.
