BONINGTON, Richard Parkes
(b. 1802, Arnold, d. 1828, London)

Sunset in the Pays de Caux

1828
Watercolour 200 x 260 mm
Wallace Collection, London

The fourth Marquess of Hertford, who acquired nearly all of the nineteenth-century pictures now in the Wallace Collection, was a great admirer of Bonington's work. Eleven oils and twenty-five watercolours in the collection (the richest public showing of his works) demonstrate the richness of his technique and show how closely he matched Turner's achievement at this time.
