Richard Parkes Bonington



This is one of my favorite lithographs I have see to date. The realism of this image and the composition give this piece a thumbs up in my book. The subtle background really makes the clock tower pop as well as the bustling crowd underneath. The detail is astonishing and has rivaled much of what I have seen today in lithography. The detail in the figures as well as the architecture gives the piece a well rounded feel. One can really capture the essence of the every day life of this town with the figures in the foreground. The clock tower is my favorite part of this piece, the detail in the stone as well as the clock itself give this composition a very good feel.
