About the piece
Created around 1780, this watercolor by John Robert Cozens captures the atmospheric beauty of the Lake of Nemi in Italy. The work is characterized by its moody, monochromatic tonal range and soft, diffused light, reflecting the artist's pioneering approach to poetic landscape painting that would later influence the likes of J.M.W. Turner.
