The Norwich School of Artists
Greta Bridge, Yorkshire by John Sell Cotman, 1810
In the early nineteenth century, Norwich was the home of artists who formed the only regional school of painting in England. Its two great masters were John Crome and John Sell Cotman and in 1803 this loose knit circle united to found the Norwich Society of Artists. From 1805 until 1833 the Society held annual exhibitions in Norwich.
The significance of Norwich School painting lies in a realism based on direct observation. It is a departure from the prettiness of Gainsborough and the classical landscape derived from Claude and Poussin.
