Cox often made painting trips to Wales, attracted by wild landscape and weather. In this composition, he layered washes on top of each other, scraping and rubbing out paint to achieve a sense of movement and atmosphere.

The Meeting of the Waters, 1850-1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour and gouache painting by David Cox. The artwork, measuring 61.1x87.4 cm, showcases Cox's love for Wales' untamed landscapes and ever-changing weather conditions. In this composition, Cox skillfully layers washes of paint on top of each other, employing techniques such as scraping and rubbing out to create a dynamic sense of movement and atmosphere. The artist deliberately uses thick, rough paper to break up the edges of forms in order to enhance the energy within the scene. The painting transports viewers to a rural Welsh countryside where a river winds its way through majestic mountains under stormy skies. Cox's mastery lies in his ability to capture both the tranquility and power inherent in nature simultaneously. This 19th-century masterpiece exemplifies Cox's artistic prowess with its vibrant colors that bring life to every element depicted - from the vivid greens of rolling hillsides to the deep blues and grays that dominate the sky during an approaching storm. "The Meeting of the Waters" serves as a testament not only to David Cox's talent but also his passion for capturing landscapes with unparalleled realism. It stands as an enduring representation of British art history while offering viewers an immersive experience into Wales' rugged beauty.
