Artist

James Lawson Stewart

James Lawson Stewart is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

James Lawson Stewart painted delicate watercolors of buildings he saw in the late 1800s. His brush traced Jerusalem’s landmarks, from the Old City walls to the Dome of the Rock. Look closely at “The Mosque of Omar, Jerusalem” to spot the way he layered soft light on stone and shadow on tile. Next, follow Stewart’s lead into the quiet corners of 19th-century travel art—tap any stroke of blue or cream in the piece to step deeper into the scene.
