Image: Billowing clouds over a brown landscape
An atmospheric watercolour landscape by Archibald Knox (1864-1933) depicting the rolling Manx hills with stormy rain clouds appearing to race across the sky and a single tree braced against the wind. The painting appears to be an attempt to capture the broad panoramic views of the Island’s landscape with the gently rolling hills and the broad expanse of sky above them.
Knox’s watercolour sketches can be seen as exercises in capturing the light and a single moment in time. The artist is said to have painted his watercolour scenes in a few hours or less, but that he would also sit for hours waiting for the exact light and cloud formations that he wanted to paint.
Watercolour on paper. 1959-0059.
