註釋Often regarded as quintessentially English, Devon has for years provided artists with a rich sense of inspiration. The Perfection of England shows how Devon grew steadily in importance from the late eighteenth to late nineteenth centuries to become one of the most popular areas for picturesque touring.With the exception of Constable, virtually every major landscape artist of this era visited Devon, and this catalogue looks at how a wide variety of British artists, including Turner, responded to the charm of Devon's unique combination of landscape elements: coastal views, pastoral landscape, the expanses of Exmoor and Dartmoor, picturesque cottages, industrial sites and historical towns.Exquisitely illustrated, this catalogue brings to life the charm and diversity of Devon through the eyes of some of our best loved British artists.
