About the artwork
Thomas Hastings is the artist behind "On Hastings Beach, 12 October 1820", dated 1820. About the period around 1820: The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. The first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. The catalogue places it in Drawings. The format is landscape. Drawings, a short history: Drawings range from quick preparatory sketches to finished works in pen, chalk, charcoal, graphite, or wash. Artists have long used drawings to plan paintings, sculptures, and buildings, so a sketch can show how an idea developed.
"On Hastings Beach, 12 October 1820" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
