WILLIAM MELLOR
ARTISTBritish landscape painting in the 19th century is marked in a special way by two great names. Joseph Mallord William Turner and John Constable transformed landscape painting. They captured the light and opened the eye to the scenic beauty of their homeland. Many art critics are tempted to seek their influence, in the generations of landscape painters who followed them. In the case of the painter William Mellor, this search seems in vain. His works reveal a unique view of nature and a meticulousness of execution that allow few parallels with other artists. The painter followed a path that bears witness to the great gift of contemplation of nature and classical painting.
