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. — —

Although Thomas Gainsborough's success in his own time rested on his portraits, his real passion was for landscape. He would frequently relax by drawing landscapes in the evening after a long day painting portraits. This drawing was perhaps produced on one such evening, the artist exploiting the rapidity with which he could set down ideas in watercolor on paper. It is a prime example of the freedom and economy with which Gainsborough could conjure up an image. With only a few loose monochrome washes and a hint of chalk, he has suggested a group of travelers on foot and horseback making their way along a country road with a covered wagon.
