Description

A watercolour in a glazed gesso frame.

Peter De Wint (21 January 1784 – 30 January 1849) was an English landscape painter. A number of his pictures are in the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Collection, Lincoln.

Also he has 32 paintings in The Tate gallery on London.

De Wint first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1807, and the following year at the Gallery of Associated Artists in Watercolours. In 1809 entered the Royal Academy Schools. He was elected an Associate of the Old Water Colour Society in 1810 and was made a full member the following year.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The 19th-century British watercolour movement focused on depicting topographical views and rural scenes using transparent washes on paper. Artists captured atmospheric light and countryside topography, often mounting works in substantial gilt frames.

These works utilised water-soluble pigments applied to handmade rag paper. Frames were constructed from carved timber or moulded gesso, finished with real gold leaf application.

Authentic pieces display period-correct paper aging, foxing, and tonal fading consistent with organic pigments. Examining the frame construction, backing paper, hand-cut glass, and attribution plaques provides additional evidence of age.

A framed historical artwork can be hung above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or incorporated into a gallery wall to introduce historical contrast within contemporary or traditional schemes.

Watercolours require protection from direct sunlight and high light levels to prevent fading. Frame the work using UV-filtering glass, acid-free mounting boards, and store in a room with controlled humidity levels.
