Cattle and Sheep at Resting at the Edge of a Forest ca. 1840 George Barret, the younger British Barret joined his teacher, John Varley as a founding member of the Society of Painters in Water-Colours in 1805. The institution promoted watercolor as a medium whose subtlety and range could approximate oil, and Barret would show over six hundred works in their annual London exhibitions during his long career. He developed a type of romantic-classical landscape anchored by rustic elements such as the herdsmen that here tend cattle before a distant castle. The golden tonality echoes the varnished oil paintings of the seventeenth-century landscapist Claude Lorrain, but Barret described trees in a singular manner, mixing gum arabic with watercolor and using a resist method to create textured branches and globular foliage. This mature work likely dates close to the end of the artists life.. Cattle and Sheep at Resting at the Edge of a Forest 375870
