Coplestone Warre Bampfylde
Coplestone Warre Bampfylde is a Rococo painting artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
An English watercolor artist in the late 1700s, Bampfylde captured sweeping vistas and studied light across soft hills and Italian shores. Among his sheets is The Bay of Naples Looking Towards Ischia, where distant islands dissolve in pearl-gray haze, and View Over a Valley and Town—possibly Bath—where rooftops nestle into rolling green. He also sketched the cascade at Hestercombe and a stone bridge lost in dappled shade. Each sheet is delicate and precise, letting you feel the breeze on paper. Tap Near Stourhead to stand in the same sunlit glades he painted.
