Julius Caesar Ibbetson, the elder

Julius Caesar Ibbetson painted small, detailed watercolours of British and colonial landscapes in the late 1700s, often showing daily work or faraway places. His brush recorded scenes like *Ploughman leading his horses home in rain* and *False Bay from Wynberg Hill, Cape of Good Hope*—towering skies above quiet farms or ships on distant shores. Looking at these, you can almost feel the damp wind on the fields or the salt air off the water. Tap *Landscape with timber wagon and wood cutters resting* to step into one of his quieter corners.
