About the piece
This 1791 watercolor by John Robert Cozens is a quintessential example of the English atmospheric landscape tradition. The view from Greenwich Hill looks across a screen of softly rendered trees toward the River Thames and the distant spires of London. Cozens’ characteristic palette of muted blues and greens creates a sense of tranquil, airy depth that is both timeless and restorative.
