| Salomon Gessner Women approach Herm of Pan in a landscape 1787 watercolor, bodycolor British Museum |
"Salomon Gessner (1730-1788) was a Swiss writer who achieved international fame during his lifetime for idyllic poetry and prose based on the classics. This sheet [directly above] is a fine example of his pastoral landscapes, which he drew in watercolor and bodycolor primarily during the last decade of his life. The drawing was etched in 1805 by a German printmaker of the next generation, Carl Wilhelm Kolbe, whose evocative landscape prints [example directly below] have much in common with Gessner's pastoral works. . . . Most of Gessner's pastoral watercolors are in the Graphische Sammlung Kunsthaus Zürich."
