James Robert Thompson made watercolors of British bridges and gateways in the late 1700s and early 1800s. In 1808 he painted West Gate and bridge, Gloucester, a careful study of medieval stonework and calm river light. His works belong to the topographical tradition, where artists recorded real places with steady lines and quiet color. See how he balanced the weight of the old gate against the floating arches next door.
