Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from David Cox and Peter De Wint
De Wint is seen at his best in the South Kensington Galleries, and from these collections I have been allowed to choose several admirable illustrations Of his art. As an oil painter he is but little known; though he was possessed of undoubted powers in this medium also, as his works at South Kensington will testify. The Henderson Bequest to the National Gallery contains some valuable drawings by De Wint, which are rarely seen in the badly-lighted Gallery to which they have been consigned; let us hope that a day is near at hand when more justice will be done to our earlier English painters than they have hitherto obtained at the hands of their countrymen.
