Vue de Coblence ; Vue de Coblenz (titre ancien)
School : Angleterre
Description
Lorsqu'il arrive à Paris dans les années 1820, le graveur anglais Thomas Shotter Boys rentre très vite en contact avec Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828), qui le convainc de peindre à l'aquarelle, notamment en Normandie, où il aime à saisir la nature changeante des paysages. Comme son compatriote, il participe aux travaux des "Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France" à partir de 1833, et se lance dans une carrière de peintre-voyageur. Il illustre plusieurs publications remarquées, dont "Le Moyen-Âge pittoresque" de Nicolas-Marie-Joseph Chapuy et Philippe Moret, en 1838.
