EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Skiddaw and Derwentwater, c. 1780" transports us back in time to the picturesque English countryside. Painted by Joseph Farington, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the Lake District's natural beauty. The scene unfolds before our eyes with a stunning view of Skiddaw and Derwentwater. The rolling hills create a breathtaking backdrop for this idyllic landscape. Nestled between these majestic peaks lies the tranquil Derwentwater, its calm waters reflecting the surrounding scenery like a mirror. A sailboat gracefully glides across the lake, adding a touch of serenity to an already peaceful setting. As we gaze at this image, we can almost feel ourselves being transported onto that boat, sailing away into nature's embrace. In the foreground, a male and female figure stand on the sandy beach. Perhaps they are locals or visitors who have come to appreciate this rural paradise firsthand. Their presence adds depth and scale to the composition while reminding us of humanity's connection with nature. As we admire Farington's masterful use of watercolor and pen over pencil techniques in creating this piece, it becomes evident why it is considered one of his finest works. This print not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as a window into Wordsworth country - an area beloved by poets and artists alike for its awe-inspiring landscapes. Displayed proudly at Yale Center for British Art as part of their Paul Mellon Collection in America, this timeless artwork
