The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (May 5-September 22, 2019). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: Francis Seymour Haden worked professionally as a surgeon, experimenting avidly with etching in his spare time. He took up the medium while it was experiencing a major revival of interest in London, and he quickly developed an artistic reputation that outweighed his medical work. Most of Haden’s prints were landscapes. In this work, he cleanly wiped ink from the plate to suggest the sun’s bright light and reflection over the river. wall description: Francis Seymour Haden worked professionally as a surgeon, experimenting avidly with etching in his spare time. He took up the medium while it was experiencing a major revival of interest in London, and he quickly developed an artistic reputation that outweighed his medical work. Most of Haden’s prints were landscapes, such as this one here. Haden worked more experimentally in a later etching, combining two separate prints (from a plate that had been cut in two) and drawing on the image in graphite to further reconsider the composition. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1921.149/1921.149_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1921.149/1921.149_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1921.149/1921.149_full.tif
