In Front of Nature: The European Landscapes of Thomas Fearnley
This the first monograph in English on Thomas Fearnley (1802-1842), a major romantic landscape artist from Norway. It reveals the full range of Fearnley&;s landscape paintings, from large oils to spontaneous sketches, which he produced en plein air during his summer travels in Europe. An innovative artist, deeply committed to naturalism, he is overdue a major reevaluation. The book also examines the artist&;s British links both through his Yorkshire ancestors and as a result of his visit from 18368. Five essays consider Fearnley&;s career: Ernst Haverkamp discusses his Norwegian upbringing and early studies; David Jackson examines Fearnley&;s contribution to the oil sketching tradition in Italy; Ann Sumner investigates the artist&;s English work, including his Lake District sketches; Greg Smith focuses on the image of the artist in the landscape; and Kate Lowry adds a note on his painting technique.
