Great British Watercolors brought together eighty-eight outstanding works in the medium from the Paul Mellon Collection at the Center, including masterpieces by J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, William Blake, Paul Sandby, John Robert Cozens, Thomas Girtin, Thomas Gainsborough, and others. The exhibition was organized as part of the 2007 celebrations commemorating both the Center’s thirtieth anniversary and the centenary of the institution’s founder, Paul Mellon, one of the greatest cultural philanthropists of the twentieth century.
In a period of a little over fifteen years, beginning in the early 1960s, Mr. Mellon assembled one of the world’s greatest collections of British drawings and watercolors. As part of his extensive collecting of British art, he purchased several distinguished private collections of British watercolors, enriching and expanding them with astute purchases reflecting his own taste. In his memoirs he praised “the beauty and freshness of English drawings and watercolors, their immediacy and sureness of technique, their comprehensiveness of subject matter, their vital qualities, their Englishness.” — —
Great British Watercolors spanned more than a century of British artistic production, from the emergence of watercolor painting in the mid-eighteenth century to its flowering in the early nineteenth century. The exhibition highlighted the diversity of British watercolor painting, showing both landscapes and figurative works by some of the principal artists who worked in the medium. Paul Mellon’s collecting activity helped to revive the study of British watercolor. — —

After his marriage in 1837 Palmer felt new pressure to make a living from his art. He relied on teaching for income while tempering his visionary approach to landscape in order to make exhibition watercolors that would find buyers. In August 1840 he made a trip to Kent, the locus of his earlier mystical landscape works. At Underriver he sketched this view, dutifully recording the rolling countryside with greater fidelity to nature.

In 1837 Palmer married [John] Linnell's daughter, the painter Hannah, and the pair honeymooned in Rome until the end of 1839. Once home, the couple moved to London, but the pressure was now on for Palmer to make a living from his art. When John Linnell became his father-in-law rather than a mere friend, their relationship changed, becoming more strained as the elder artist lectured his new son on his financial responsibilities." From 1839 Palmer was relying on teaching for income, while attempting to make exhibition watercolors that would find buyers. Money was short. In his notebook for 1840, he wondered "supposing lessons stop, and nothing more is earned.... Go into the country for one month to make little drawings for sale? In August 1840 the Palmers and the Linnells made a joint trip back to Shoreham, just a few miles from Underriver. At Underriver, Palmer sketched this view of the Kent landscape from grounds belonging to the prominent Tory politician John Herries (1778-1855) in the neighboring hamlet of St. Julian's. Herries's property lay on the edge of the great park of Knole, a location that conformed to Palmer's ideal vision of Kent in its traditional guise of "Garden of England." But making saleable watercolors meant tempering his visionary enthusiasm and submitting to Linnell's discipline of greater fidelity to nature. Here his approach to watercolor sketching conforms to A. H. Palmer's account of his father's time-saving methods, noting his use of "warm middle-tint paper and body-colour [gouache], a practice he eschewed in most of his finished drawings." Around 1840 Palmer gradually abandoned oil painting to focus exclusively on watercolor; the reward was election to the Society of Painters in Water-Colours as an Associate in 1843 and a regular venue for exhibiting his work. Commercial success remained hard to come by, explaining his envy for the enormous popularity of paintings in watercolor by William Henry Hunt (cat. nos. 66-68).
