What is a watercolour?
A timeless pictorial technique, watercolour takes up a large part of Art history. The technique of water painting has long been appreciated thanks to its practicality: pigments mixed with water produce striking colours, ideal to transport and represent landscapes.
A technique widely used by artists
Watercolour was widely used for illustration and monochrome printing. Indeed, in the 19th century, it was the favoured technique amongst book publishers to put the greatest works into images. Lithographs in colour for the first time were a small revolution in the artistic world. This technique would be used for a long time for colouring comic strips.
Watercolour over the centuries
The use of watercolour is nothing new. It can be traced back to being used in 3rd century China, as well as in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance. The Classical period saw the advent of small-format watercolours, called miniatures. These softly poetic works had to be looked at very closely and offered an intimate experience of such art.
English painters: leaders of modern watercolour painting
With the influence of the great English artists of the 19th century, such as Samuel Palmer, and William Turner, watercolour began its artistic revival. This revival stretched to France, allowing artists such as Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Géricault to brighten their activity with their representations of landscapes.
Today, watercolours by 20th century artists are prized by collectors. Having great name authenticated will allow you to make great sales, through the personalised support of our experts.
