专家说明

Dating from 1829, The Potato Field- Isle of Wight, is a replica of a picture first painted in 1816. Linnell's handling of light and shadow gives an indication of the poetic landscapes that we're yet to come. It was one of seven works he sent to the British Institution in 1830. He saw a great deal of Samuel Palmer at this time, giving him advice and encouragement. He copied Old Masters in the National Gallery and visited him in Shoreham.
