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. — —

Il Parco degli Astroni was the traditional location for the notoriously bloodthirsty boar hunts of the Neapolitan court. One such hunt was observed in 1784 by a Miss Berry, who concluded that “a more barbarous amusement was never practiced by the savages of America.” Beckford’s own visit to the king of Naples was not a success, for he was an early and passionate opponent of blood sports. In Cozens’s watercolor the spear-carrying hunters appear to belong to an indeterminate age, neither fully in the past nor the present. Their archaic quality perhaps reflects Beckford’s own view of hunters as embodying a primitive nature that civilized souls like himself had long since shaken off. Back home in England, Beckford built an enormous wall around his estate in Wiltshire to keep out hunters.
