Discovery of Paris - Principal Scientist Department of Mathematics Statistics and Epidemiology Stephen Duffy

This catalog will accompany an exciting exhibition at the Wallace Collection of British watercolor views of Paris. Focusing on the period c. 1802-40, it will feature works by Turner, Girtin and Bonington, as well as other artists who are now perhaps less familiar, such as Thomas Shotter Boys, Francis Danby and William Callow. The reader will be introduced to about sixty watercolors, plus complimentary materials including preparatory drawings and associated prints. Featured works are from the British Museum, Tate Britain, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and several private collections.
