About the piece
Created in 1832 by the British master David Cox, this watercolor captures the blustery atmosphere of Dieppe. Cox's fluid brushwork and muted tonal palette of ochres and greys perfectly evoke the movement of a wind-swept sky and the spray of the English Channel, making this piece a quintessential example of English Romantic landscape art.
