Wooded Landscape with Cows beside a Pool, Figures and Cottage, published in 1797
Wooded Landscape with Cows beside a Pool, Figures and Cottage, published in 1797. Gainsborough was one of the first English artists to attempt original work using the newly invented techniques of aquatint and soft-ground etching. His almost impressionistic handling of these new media was perfectly in keeping with his chalk, pencil, and washed sketches of the landscape. The freshness and vitality of Gainsboroughs original prints, all published posthumously, place them among the greatest of all original English landscape prints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Wooded Landscape with Cows beside a Pool, Figures and Cottage" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century England. Published in 1797, it showcases Thomas Gainsborough's innovative use of aquatint and soft-ground etching techniques, making him one of the first English artists to explore these newly invented methods. Gainsborough's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures the essence of this idyllic landscape. His almost impressionistic approach seamlessly blends with his earlier sketches using chalk, pencil, and washes. The result is a print that exudes freshness and vitality. The scene itself is nothing short of picturesque. A serene pool lies nestled amidst a wooded landscape adorned with lush trees and foliage. Two cows peacefully graze by its side while figures can be seen engaging in various activities nearby. A charming cottage completes this bucolic setting. These original prints by Gainsborough were published posthumously and are widely regarded as some of the finest examples of English landscape prints ever created. Their enduring beauty continues to captivate viewers even today. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable piece from Heritage Art/Heritage Images transports us back in time to an era where nature's tranquility reigned supreme and serves as a testament to Gainsborough's exceptional talent as an artist.
