| Street Scene, Rouen by Thurston Laidlaw Shoosmith | |
|
|
|
This watercolour showing a street in Rouen, France shows local artist Thurston Laidlaw Shoosmith taking inspiration from artists of the past. |
|
|
Here Shoosmith is taking particular inspiration from J.M.W. Turner who depicted many towns during his artistic career. Shoosmith’s colour palette and viewpoint both take inspiration from Turner’s own street scenes. |
