EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "General View of Lake of Derwent Water" by Joseph Farington showcases the beauty and serenity of nature in the 18th century. The artwork, created using pen and ink with watercolor over graphite on wove paper, measures 38.1x50.8 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection. The image transports viewers to a picturesque scene, where they can almost feel the tranquility emanating from the stunning lake surrounded by lush greenery. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life, from the gentle ripples on the water's surface to the majestic horses grazing peacefully nearby. Farington's work captures not only a specific moment in time but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It serves as a window into both English history and European landscapes, showcasing Cumbria's natural beauty while hinting at Italy's influence through its Italian-inspired elements.
