More about this artwork

David Cox's enchanting watercolor, "Overshot Mill, North Wales," captures a serene rural landscape imbued with pastoral charm. In this painting, the focal point is an old, stone-built overshot watermill, positioned amidst lush, verdant scenery. The mill itself, characterized by its prominent waterwheel, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of traditional engineering, harmoniously integrated into the natural surroundings.Cox masterfully depicts the play of light and shadow on the rough stonework and thatched roof of the mill, lending a sense of enduring solidity and time-worn resilience. To the left of the composition, we see two figures—a standing woman in a bonnet and a mounted horseman—engaged in a moment of casual roadside interaction, adding a human element to the tranquil scene.The background unfolds in layers of soft blues and greens, suggesting the vastness of the Welsh landscape that extends beyond the immediate surroundings.

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.
