Légende

Exhibition of the National Institution - "A Woodland River" - painted by S. R. Percy, 1850. London art exhibition: 'We have this week engraved Mr. Sidney Percy's finest picture in this collection, in the catalogue, No. 207, "A Woodland River" - "As from the face of heaven the shatter'd clouds; Tumultuous rose, the interminable sky; Sublimer swells, and o'er the world expands; A purer azure". This is a very charming work, in composition and in colouring: the atmospheric effect is remarkably fine, and the whole scene is full of the poetry of art'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
