Cotman's rendering of the cloister's arches highlights his meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of light and shadow, which bring the ancient stonework to life.
Executed around 1818, this watercolor is part of a series of works Cotman created during his travels in Normandy. These journeys were instrumental in shaping his artistic style and expanding his repertoire of subjects. Cotman's Normandy series is highly regarded for its evocative portrayal of medieval architecture and its contribution to the Romantic appreciation of historical and picturesque landscapes.
In "Arches in the West Side of the Cloister of St. Georges de Boscherville," Cotman employs a restrained color palette, focusing on the interplay of light and texture to convey the quiet majesty of the cloister.
