The popularity of watercolor as a medium for both professional and amateur artists in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted from improvements in the materials, including the development of watercolor papers and pre-mixed pigments. These advancements coincided with the rise of Romanticism in the British Isles. Nan Brewer, the IU Art Museum’s Lucienne M. Glaubinger Curator of Works on Paper, will discuss a selection of British watercolors by notable artists including Thomas Girtin, John Robert Cozens, and Richard Parkes Bonington, as well as examples by less-familiar names.
