Artist

John Marten

John Marten is a British Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Marten painted quiet landscapes in watercolour in the early 1800s. His brush traced the chalk cliffs and spires around Kent, from the white cliffs near Dover to the narrow lanes of Canterbury. Each sheet captures a moment of still weather and local colour without drama. Next, tap Canterbury to see how he kept his colours cool and his clouds low.
