JOHN GLOVER. Early Morning near Loch Katrine in the Trossachs, Scotland

Early Morning near Loch Katrine in the Trossachs, Scotland. Artist: John Glover (British, Houghton-on-the-Hill, Leicester 1767-1849 Launceston, Tasmania). Dimensions: sheet: 16 x 21 9/16 in. (40.7 x 54.7 cm). Date: before 1831. Known as the "English Claude," after famed seventeenth-century painter Claude Lorrain, Glover here applied that master's golden Italianate vision to a northern subject. A member of London's Society of Painters in Water-Colours, the artist demonstrated the medium's ability to convey atmospheric effects in works that commanded prices second only to those of his contemporary J. M. W. Turner. This exhibition piece depicts a locale bordering the Scottish Highlands, a region then exotic to English viewers. Delicate washes evoke sunlight diffused by mist, and Glover's distinctive split-brush technique has been used to create fuzzy, layered foliage. Bright touches of light sparkle off a stream and the shoulder of a girl who carries a jug. Shortly after making this work, Glover moved to Tasmania and helped establish Australian landscape painting.
