UNIT 3
British Painting
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews
Subject
two genres, not rapid sketches from nature, loved the countryside of his childhood
Colour
tender and soft colour, light tone scheme and use of light blues and yellows
Composition
in front of a stout oak tree, everything here is unmistakably English, cradles his shotgun under his arm, businesslike attitude, strong Rococo elements, Van Dyck’s continued influence, make the light blue, lifted straight from a book of etiquette, unfinished for an unknown reason, meadows of grazing sheep, touch the land at the horizon
