| An English painter
(self-portrait above). He made
his name with land and seascapes. In his old age, he became obsessed with depicting the power of light using especially yellow in most of his painting. This was thought to be the result of developing cataract. Two of his paintings were shown to illustrate the distinct outline of his subjects (above right at an early age) and the hazy appearance of his later works (below right). |
