John Joseph Cotman 1814-1878 the River Yare and Norwich

19th century
Description

John Joseph Cotman was a key member of the Norwich School of artists. The second son of John Sell Cotman John Joseph displayed a wonderful eye for colour and was a superb draughtsman. His pictures are stylish and bear the test of time very well.

John Joseph suffered from deep boughts of depression and difficult manic episodes which stretched is family and friends to the limit. He drank heavily and sadly developed tongue cancer and had the tongue removed, which must have bee horrendous.

This picture is from the hills above Whittlingham Lane just outside Norwich. It looks back along the river Yare to where Whittlingham Broad is situated. The picture shows brilliantly the Norwich skyline, including; the Cathedral, the Castle and Colmans Factory, Whittlingham Hall.

The river snakes its way through the picture with wherries dotted along its length. The cottages I believe are both still in place.

The picture has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. It is signed and dated Oct 1867

Image size 34.75 x 22.75 inches a large watercolour

FAQs

The Norwich School was a British regional art movement active in the 19th century, notable for depicting rural Norfolk landscapes and atmospheric atmospheric light using watercolour and oil mediums.

Artists typically used natural gum arabic as a binder mixed with organic and mineral pigments, applied onto cotton rag paper using sable or squirrel hair brushes.

Authentic works often display natural paper age-toning, faint graphite underdrawings, historical artist signatures or inscriptions, and characteristic pigment settling visible under magnification.

These works can be framed in simple dark wood or gilded moulding and hung alongside clean-lined contemporary furniture to create balanced visual contrast.

Watercolours require framing with UV-filtering glass and archival acid-free mounts, alongside placement away from direct sunlight and areas of fluctuating humidity to prevent fading.
