Landscape Painting, c.1770–1840
Landscape painting in Britain in the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries represents one of the few occasions in a survey of world art where the omission of the British contribution would be seen as negligent. This chapter talks about some general considerations bearing on the questions (Why is it that landscape painting has achieved prominence, what are the cultural agencies that have collaborated to position landscape so centrally in the story of British art, and what are the presumed relations between landscape and a sense of national identity, as vested in the so‐called national school) before turning to four images that exemplify the variety of landscape painting practices in operation between the 1770s and the 1840s. The four images are Haymakers, The Decline of the Carthaginian Empire, The Valley Thick with Corn, and Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows.
