Artist

William Green

William Green is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William Green painted quiet landscapes in watercolour, specializing in the English Lake District. His 1808 view Raven Crag, Wythburn Water, Thirlmere shows a tarn reflecting slate-grey hills and sheep-dotted slopes. Working a century before the mass tourist trail, he captured Thirlmere before the reservoir was built, letting the water stay wild and the crags sharp. See how he used barely a dozen brushstrokes to suggest both the wind and the stillness of the lake—tap Raven Crag to step into the scene yourself.
