Isidore Justin Severin Taylor

Isidore Justin Severin Taylor is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

French traveler and watercolor artist Isidore Justin Severin Taylor sketched ancient sites during the 1830s. He turned his brush to Yazılıkaya’s Hittite rock carvings and the Sphinx in Egypt, both in soft washes of watercolor. These sheets aren’t grand oil paintings—they’re quick, portable records made on the road. Flip next to Le Sphinx to see the lion-man hybrid rise in delicate blues and tans.
