Artist
John Alexander Gresse
John Alexander Gresse is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Alexander Gresse was a London drawing-master who spent his summers sketching Welsh valleys instead of teaching wealthy sons. His watercolors of Llangollen Bridge show how light turns stone pink at dusk, a trick he learned from the Dutch landscapists. If you like Turner’s skies but want something quieter, look up Gresse’s Llangollen Bridge—it’s a 1760s postcard from a man who preferred cows to crowds.
