"Willow" is a 1789 drawing by the English artist John Robert Cozens. Cozens is known for his atmospheric landscapes, often depicting nature in a romantic and idealized light. This drawing shows a group of willow trees bending in the wind, their leaves and branches creating a sense of movement and energy. The gentle, gray tones and soft lines create a sense of serenity and peace. The work is a fine example of Cozen's talent for capturing the beauty and drama of the natural world.
Comments
As dark clouds loom above, the willows on the riverbank in this landscape form a brilliant centrepiece. Their branches bend in the strong breeze, as do those of the surrounding trees and even the rushes by the water. The scene and the weather suggest that Cozens may have found inspiration for this composition close to home.
