Artist

Robert Marris

Robert Marris is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Robert Marris painted views of places he visited, using thin, flowing watercolour washes that let the paper’s texture show through. In *Briton Ferry, Wales*, you can trace the curve of the river and the rise of hills behind it, all in soft greens and blues. Watercolour in the late 1700s often worked this way—light on the page, details suggested rather than outlined. Tap to see the riverbank as Marris did, or look for the hills that still frame the town today.
