View Of Copped Hall In Essex, From The Park By George Lambert And Editorial Photo

View of Copped Hall in Essex, from the Park By Francis Hayman and George Lambert. It seems that the paintings were not simply the statement of a wealthy young man with a fine estate, but a record of his original inheritance and a commemoration of the grand old mansion before its destruction. Lambert has taken the innovative step of depicting them in contrasting weather conditions: the heat and calm of a summer`s day in the parkland view complements the breezy freshness of the windswept lake in the other. Lambert`s innovation in combining contrasting atmospheric effects with different aspects of a property was to prove highly influential on later artists
