Artist
Richard R.A. Westall
Richard R.A. Westall is a Romanticism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
English artist Richard Westall made prints and watercolours in the late 1700s and early 1800s, often drawing subjects from literature and mythology. Look closely at *Cassandra in the Temple of Minerva* (1797) or the set titled *Vathek* to see how he turned scenes into delicate ink and paint. He worked in an era when prints were shared widely, like today’s social media. Tap *H Beard Print Collection (1st February 1785)* to step into a single day of prints from his time.
