About the artwork
Dated 1867, "Lagoon, flowering Bulrushes, Wanaka" is an artwork by James Crowe Richmond. Context for 1867: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. It is listed in the Landscape collection. The image is in landscape orientation. Landscape, a short history: Landscape became an independent genre in European painting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, while in East Asia it had long been central to ink painting. The invention of paint in tubes in the 1840s made it easier to work outdoors, and landscape became a main subject of Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism.
"Lagoon, flowering Bulrushes, Wanaka" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
