Thomas Girtin, master of Romantic landscape

Influenced by travels, archaeology, and a growing interest in historical scenes, he favored simplicity of forms and the power of light to evoke poetic realism. His watercolors and washes inspired a generation of artists and elevated landscape to a form of emotional expression.
