About the piece

Painted around 1770, Richard Wilson captures a quiet corner of London's St. James's Park. Known for his pioneering role in British landscape painting, Wilson employs a rich palette of deep greens and earthy browns to evoke a sense of secluded natural beauty, blending Italianate light with the English countryside.
