John Crome. Road Scene, Heathersett. 1812. England. Etching on China paper, laid down on ivory wove paper Influenced by the Romantic poet William Wordsworth and by Dutch landscape painters, John Crome’s affinity for nature translated into etchings that held a preeminent place in the development of English landscape art. He embraced a spontaneous approach to the medium, using lines very sparingly to convey the calm light and quiet atmosphere of the English countryside.
