Publishers Description: This work follows the story of watercolour from its origins in 16th-century Italy and Germany through developments in Holland, France and Switzerland in the 18th century and on to the special contribution made by the British School in the work of J.R. Cozens, Girtin, Cotman and Turner. It concludes with the effects of Romanticism and Impressionism and a discussion of watercolour in the 20th century.
