(244 x 333 mm) Purchased on the Fellows Fund; 1985.59 See CORSAIR catalog record for this item » Boys met the artist Richard Parkes Bonington (1801–1828) in Paris in 1825. It was apparently Bonington who persuaded Boys to abandon engraving and take up painting. Boys absorbed Bonington's manner of painting and his sense of color. He used touches of pure red to enliven the cool palette of this landscape. About this department List of works Text only list Search images Order images
