British & Continental Studies: Dashwood

British & Continental Studies: Dashwood

This charming collection of works by a 19th-century hand named Dashwood depicts a range of interesting British and Continental views, all with a particular rustic charm. Subjects in graphite include views on the Danube, the Rhine and at Waterloo in Belgium. The artist has made good use of light and dark to achieve a sense of depth, and has included local details such as figures and boats to give a real sense of place. The works in watercolour depict popular and famous Grand Tour locations, including at the Swiss Lakes—Lucerne, Geneva and Lugano—and on the Arno in Florence, which present familiar views from personal, unexpected angles, such as from hotel terrace or bridge arch—giving these works a particular appeal. Closer to home there are various landscapes across the British Isles—at Dorset, Devon, Surrey, Scotland and Wales. Executed in some cases on 1846 Whatman paper, these pictures represent the keen observations of a talented Grand Tourist.
