Description
For the first time, this volume makes the British drawings in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the States Museum for Kunst accesible to a professional as as a general audience, and gives them the historical attention and scrutiny theyt deserve. Since the collection consists of only 121 drawings it is inevitably not a comprehensive one, but some British artists are represented by important works and there are areas of great strength. the five drawings by John Constable cover most of his career and there are ten magnificent finished drawings by the great architect Robert Adam. The five Henry Fuseli drawings are very dramatic and representative, and the great tradition of British visual satire is represented by two drawings by Thomas Rowlandson and a fascinating anonymous drawing for a political caricature of 1765.
