EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the picturesque city of Rouen from the elevated viewpoint of St. Catherines Hill in 1849. The artist, Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham, skillfully used pencil and watercolour heightened with white to bring this scene to life. The artwork measures 69.9x107.9 cm and is part of a private collection. From a distance, we see the charming cityscape of Rouen nestled amidst hilly terrain and surrounded by majestic mountainscapes. The absence of people allows us to focus on the natural beauty of this mid-19th century setting. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the fine artistry that defines British art on paper. The receding view creates a sense of depth and perspective as our eyes are drawn towards the distant river flowing through the landscape. Lush foliage adorns the hillsides, adding vibrant pops of color against an otherwise serene palette. This artwork transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into nineteenth-century Europe and showcasing Normandy's scenic wonders. It serves as a testament to Rowbotham's talent as an Irish artist who masterfully captured nature's grandeur with his pencil drawings and watercolours. Overall, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its tranquil ambiance while appreciating both its artistic merit and historical significance within British art history.
