Artist

Josiah Parlby

Josiah Parlby is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Josiah Parlby liked to paint outdoors, bundled in a heavy coat even in mild weather—a habit that earned him the nickname "the shivering watercolorist." His soft brushstrokes in *The skirts of a wood, with a girl and a dog* make the forest feel alive, as if the trees are breathing. You’ll find this scene tucked in the corner of the Guildhall Art Gallery, London, where it’s easy to miss unless you’re searching for quiet moments.
