About the piece
Painted in 1792 by John 'Warwick' Smith, this delicate watercolor depicts the village of Stonethwaite dwarfed by the massive formation of Eagle Cragg. Smith’s masterful use of atmospheric perspective creates a sense of immense depth and tranquility, characteristic of the Golden Age of British watercolor.
