Figures on a Beach, Northern France. Artist: Thomas Shotter Boys (British, Pentonville 1803-1874 London). Dimensions: sheet: 5 1/2 x 8 15/16 in. (13.9 x 22.7 cm). Date: 1830.Dark rain clouds move swiftly over a beach as figures in local costume approach a sailing vessel. Trained as an engraver, Boys began to use watercolor after meeting Richard Parkes Bonington in Paris in 1823. This coastal subject displays Boys's distinct individual qualities together with a continuing debt to Bonington, two years after the latter's death. Boys was based in England when he painted this work in 1830, but soon would return to Paris and exhibit many watercolors that encouraged new interest in the medium.

Panorama of Venice from the Bacino di San Marco, Including the Project for the Proposed Teatro Manin. Artist: Francesco Guardi (Italian, Venice 1712-1793 Venice). Dimensions: 18 11/16 x 34 13/16 in. (47.5 x 88.5 cm). Date: ca. 1788-93.This large panorama bearing a dedication to Ludovico Manin, the last Doge of Venice, was probably intended for engraving, a fact which explains its relatively high degree of finish. The drawing was likely intended to mark the initiation of a theater (inserted at left center) in honor of the Doge. As history would have it, Teatro Manin was never built, and Ludovico Manin fared no better. On May 12, 1797, he surrendered the government of the Venetian Republic to the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte, ending a millennium of republican independence.On either side of the dedication tablet bearing the Doge's coat of arms Guardi offers a key to the buildings with corresponding numbers in the drawing. Topographic exactitude was important in this instance as a contex
