Biography:
Son of the drawing master at Eton and watercolorist, John Robert Cozens studied under his father and developed a unique watercolor technique that was both impressionistic and atmospheric. Cozens traveled across Italy from 1776 to 1782 to gather source material for his landscapes and historical paintings. Deemed ‘the greatest genius that ever touched landscape’ by Constable, Cozens’s work often had a somber and depressed feel to it. This was most likely a result of his severe depression, the illness that inevitably caused his admittance to an insane asylum at the end of his life.
