Beautiful last day in New York

One of my favourite things in our New York exhibition is this rare album of 41 watercolours by Sir Robert Ker Porter (1777-1842) drawn on a journey in France and Russia each signed with initials and dated between 1814 and 1816. Ker Porter was an English artist, writer and diplomat who was invited to Russia by Tsar Alexander I to decorate the Admiralty in St Petersburg. He fell in love with the country and a Russian princess whom he married. In 1825 he was appointed British Consul to Venezuela where ge remained for 15 years. He is buried in St Petersburg where he died when visiting his daughter. On view in New York as part of until Saturday

Another favourite from our forthcoming exhibition - a study of trees by another Bristol artist Charles Branwhite (1817-1880)

What do you call a wall of large watercolours by David Cox? I don’t know but here one is…. All late works dating from 1840 onwards and mostly Welsh

One of my favourite amateur artists is the Bristol School’s Rev John Eagles (1783-1855). This double sketchbook sheet is dated 1812 and is probably a view taken in Leigh Woods near Bristol. It is included in our winter exhibition ‘One Hundred Drawings and Water-colours’ which opens on the 27th November
