Alfred van Muyden
Alfred van Muyden is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Alfred van Muyden’s watercolours bring 19th-century Europe to life with quiet detail. In Travelling Friar he shows a lone monk against a road that winds into mist, his robe catching the only colour in the scene. The work belongs to the mid-1800s, when artists used watercolour to capture fleeting light and movement before photography took over. Tap Travelling Friar to zoom in on the friar’s face and the road that disappears into the distance.
