London: Charles Skilton Ltd, 1974. Original. Hardcover. VG clean, tight contents; DJ clean but with light bumps to corners and head/tail of spine; price-clipped. Mylar cover rubbed and with shelf soiling (could be removed for a cleaner copy). Art school ex-lib. copy with usual marks.. Tan linen/boards; gilt lettering. Beige dj with color image and royal purple lettering; Mylar cover. 157 pp. with color frontis and 6 color and 38 bw plates. Francis Towne (1739 or 1740 - 1816) was a British watercolour landscape painter and teacher, who spent his career between his native London and Exeter. Towne travelled to Italy in 1780-81, which was strongly formative for his style, perhaps as much for what he learned from other English watercolourists there as from the sights or Italian art. He also went on "study trips" to Wales and the Lake District. He was reasonably well known in his lifetime, though failing repeatedly to get elected to the Royal Academy, but soon became neglected after his death. He remained an obscure figure until the early 20th century. In January 2016, the British Museum held an exhibition of the watercolours he painted in Rome, and art critic Jonathan Jones commented: "Francis Towne, who failed 11 times to get elected to the Royal Academy but had the foresight to leave these watercolours to the British Museum when he died in 1816, may not be a famous British artist. He is, however, as this entrancing exhibition reveals, a great one.".
