About this objectSir David Young Cameron (1865–1945) was a renowned Scottish painter and etcher, celebrated for his evocative landscapes and architectural studies. His artistic journey was deeply enriched by extensive travels across Europe, with France playing a significant role in shaping his printmaking legacy.
Cameron’s visits to France inspired a series of etchings and drypoints, including this work in Angers, that captured the country’s architectural charm and atmospheric landscapes. These prints exemplify his mastery in rendering light and shadow through intricate linework and tonal depth and reflect his fascination with historic French towns and their quiet grandeur.
