Artist
Sir John Miller Adye
Sir John Miller Adye is an Impressionism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Adye painted the British Empire’s far-flung outposts in crisp watercolours. In 1882 he recorded the Guards’ red coats and tents at Tel-el-Mahouta, a moment frozen on paper. The same year he looked down on their encampment from Cairo’s Abdin Palace, giving us a bird’s-eye view of sand and soldiers. By 1883–86 he turned to Gibraltar, sketching the rock from the Spanish mainland and again from the fortress itself. If forts and faraway horizons intrigue you, tap into his View of Gibraltar from 1884.
