Laghi, rovine e cieli su carta

Acquerello britannico

L’acquerello in Gran Bretagna dalla fine del Settecento alla metà dell’Ottocento, quando i pittori percorrevano i Laghi, il Galles e la Scozia e portavano la loro carta fino in Italia. Gli alberi pallidi di Towne chini sul lago di Peamore Park, la cascata di Abbott a Inveraray, il castello di Harlech di Varley oltre la sabbia, il fiume di Girtin a Norwich, Villa Lante di Cozens sopra Roma e il molo di Dover di Cox davanti a un mare arancione di sera.
