English Romantic Painter, 1775-1802
English painter, draughtsman and printmaker. With his rival, J. M. W. Turner, he extended the technical possibilities of watercolour and in doing so demonstrated that watercolours could have the visual impact and emotional range of oils. Although close in style throughout the 1790s, by 1800 Turner and Girtin were beginning to diverge: whereas the former dissolved forms to express his idea of Nature in a state of flux, the latter sought out a landscape's underlying patterns to convey his awe of Nature's permanence as well as its grandeur. Girtin's reduction of landscape to simple and monumental forms Related Paintings of Thomas Girtin :. | Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire | Near Bolton Abbey | Interior of Lindisfarne Priory | Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland | Portrait of Thomas Girtin | Related Artists:
