Bonington's 'An Estuary in Northern France'
Escape to the sandy bank of a quiet shore
Join Christina Bradstreet from our Learning team for a slow look at An Estuary in Northern France by Richard Parkes Bonington.
We recommend finding a quiet spot and watching on 'full screen' to get the most out of the experience:
This is a YouTube video player. Below the video are the title, view time and description. Below that is a carousel of video thumbnails. Clicking a thumbnail will load and play that video.
Learn more about the painting, and about Richard Parkes Bonington, one of the most promising young artists of his generation, whose life was tragically cut short.
