A Mill 1830

David Lucas’s “A Mill” is a romantic landscape print from 1830. The scene depicts a mill building beside a river with a range of hills in the background. The composition uses dark and light contrasts to draw attention to the buildings and the river, which reflects the sky and the clouds above. “A Mill” is a fine example of romantic era landscape prints, characterized by their attention to detail and their ability to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
