James T. Hervé d'Egville

James T. Hervé d'Egville is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

James T. Hervé d'Egville made delicate watercolours of Venice in the 1860s. Two works here, both titled The Lagunes of Venice, show canals and boats dissolving in soft light. He picked a misty palette—peach skies over greenish lagoons—typical of the decade’s taste for dreamy travel scenes. Move from these quiet reflections to the next quiet scene: tap The Lagunes of Venice (1869) to step back into the same mist.
