Tour d'Horloge, Rouen 1829

David Cox, a prominent English watercolorist of the 19th century, captured the architecture of Rouen, France in his 1829 work, "Tour d'Horloge, Rouen." The watercolor depicts a narrow street lined with historic buildings, leading towards a prominent clock tower. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and washes of color creates a sense of atmosphere and depth, conveying the charm and character of the medieval cityscape. Cox's ability to render light and shadow with subtle washes of watercolor has made him a renowned master of the medium, and his work continues to inspire artists and viewers alike.
