From the blurb: "The Fitzwilliam Museum has an exceptionally fine collection of drawings and watercolours by Peter De Wint (1784-1849), many of them the gift of T. W. Bacon. Mr Bacon's taste was for those loose sketches in colour in which the artist best captured the changing moods of the English countryside, and which show him as one of the most elegiac of our landscape painters. With these at the heart of the exhibition, a total of 124 drawings have been chosen from public and private collections in the United Kingdom and Ireland : all are reproduced in this catalogue. The exhibition shows not only the elaborately finished works, on which De Wint's reputation has largely rested, but also his more intimate studies and sketches. These reveal him as a painter who, although more limited in vision than his great contemporaries Constable and Turner, was at his best their equal in his understanding and harmony with nature.The descriptive details, provenance and history of each item are catalogued and introduced by David Sçrase. A separate section of plates includes eight pictures reproduced in colour for the first time." Good.
