Seller's Description:
Very good. "British landscape painting can trace its origins to a 17th century printmaker from Prague, Wenceslaus Hollar. Landscape painting developed almost incidentally as a background to "prospects", portraits of large country houses commissioned by their wealthy landowners. Hitherto the vast tracts of unfenced common land had been regarded as a void around civilization and unworthy of record. However, during the 18th century, it became fashionable to paint ruins, and with the onset of the Romantic Movement in the 1770s, mountains and moors were no longer regarded as wild, uncouth and unsavoury places. The Lake District became the height of fashion. Landscape has often played a deceptive part in social history. In times of war, when bread was in short supply, harvest scenes reached new heights of popularity, and during the most miserable periods of the industrial revolution, there was scarcely a townscape to be seen. Victorian poverty was made cosy with pictures of rose-encrusted cottages and idyllic landscapes.
