An angler on the Lyn at Lynmouth, Devon

Samuel Jackson became a leading figure in the Bristol School of Painting, and developed a highly sophisticated technique with much sponging, stopping and scratching out, and glazing with a layer of thin bodycolour. The majority of his landscapes are views in the British Isles, particularly those in Devon and Wales. Jackson visited Lynmouth in 1826.
