Artist

Heaphy

Heaphy is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

They painted the early 1800s watercolour scene that made a splash in 1809: “The Wounded Leg,” a delicate sheet of paper showing a soldier’s injured limb propped up against a camp stool. The artist left no movement tag, but the fine brush and muted tones belong to the small-scale military and topographical studies that hung in London exhibitions before the watercolour craze took off. Next, slide to “The Wounded Leg” and watch the light catch the folds of the uniform.
