Légende
The Valley of the Tyne, My Native Country near Henshaw, 1842. Panoramic landscapes in watercolour became an important source of income during Martin?s late career. This watercolour demonstrates his ability to convey monumentality on a small scale and to combine broad washes of colour with meticulous detail. The sweeping vista in this drawing describes the fertile valley of the River Tyne, known for its forests, flora, and fauna. Curving arcs of slopes and plains swirl around the composition. A tiny couple and dog rush through the vast landscape beneath ominous storm clouds.
