Cumulus Clouds
Date made: c.1900-1933
Artist: Knox, Archibald
Description: An atmospheric watercolour coastal view by Archibald Knox (1864-1933) depicting a stretch of coastline either on the Isle of Man or the south eastern coast of England. Skyscapes, where the light and movement of cloud formations are the main focus of the painting were popular themes for Knox with the landscape or horizon only providing a narrow band, in this case between the sky and the sea. The artist is said to have painted his watercolour scenes in a few hours or less, but that he would also sit for hours waiting for the exact light and cloud formations that he wanted to paint.
