Many English watercolorists traveled to Rome in the 1770s, although J. R. Cozens was one of the most influential. This view of Switzerland, made on his way to Rome, conveys the spontaneity of his sketches as opposed to his fully developed watercolors, such as the view of Lake Nemi on the wall in front of you.
