NY: Cambridge University Press, 1989. Hardcover. VG/VG (light foxing to block edges). Orange cloth with gilt lettering on spine, blue color-illustrated dust jacket. 160 pp. 50 color, 85 bw plates. "Richard Parkes Bonington (180228) stands as one of England's most important and prolific landscape artists, ranking alongside Turner and Constable as a prime exponent of the English Romantic Movement. His watercolour paintings are considered to be exemplary of the English tradition. Bonington's reputation for poetic and topographical landscapes as well as for dash and brilliance earned him a renown that spanned Europe, but which has mysteriously dimmed with the years. This timely and unique assessment of Bonington will once again establish an appreciation of his work as a peerless artist."--Publisher's description.
