Artist

William Maj. Gen. Lacy

William Maj. Gen. Lacy is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William Lacy drew what he saw on the road. In early 1830 he stood inside India’s Ellora caves and sketched the towering stone carvings—Kailasanatha Temple on February 2nd, then the grand doorway of Indra Sabha Cave five days later. These aren’t quick snaps; each page shows measured lines that let the rock speak for itself. Tap the Kailasanatha Temple drawing to see how he framed the mountain out of shadow and sculpture.
