Description
Beautiful view of the island of Ischia, engraved by Robert Brandard (1805-1862), after a painting by Clarkson Stanfield (1793-1867) and published in The Art Journal in 1858.
Stanfield was considered the greatest British marine artist of his time. The public preferred the immediacy and high finish of his marine paintings to the hazy visions of J. M. W. Turner's later years, and John Ruskin praised him extensively in Modern Painters (1843-1860), noting in particular his faithful observation of the skies and his astonishing ability to render the movement and transparency of water.
In addition to his oil paintings, Stanfield produced many watercolors. He also illustrated several books.
Etching, finely hand-colored, light oxidation, otherwise in good condition.

Robert Brandard (1805, in Birmingham – 7 January 1862, in London) was a British landscape engraver and landscapist.
Brandard was the eldest son of Thomas Brandard (d. 1830), engraver and copperplate printer, of Barford Street, Deritend, Birmingham, and his wife, Ann. He went to London in 1824, and entered the studio of Edward Goodall, with whom he remained a year. He engraved some of the subjects for Brockedon's Passes of the Alps, Captain Batty's Saxony, Turner's England and Wales and English Rivers, and numerous plates for The Art Journal, after Turner, Stanfield, Callcott, Herring, and others. His most important engravings on a large scale were Turner's Crossing the Brook, "The Snow-storm", and ,The Bay of Baiae. He also published two volumes of etchings, chiefly landscapes, after his own designs. He occasionally exhibited small oil pictures at the British Institution, which were distinguished by a good feeling for nature and a healthy tone of colour. The watercolour "Rocks at Hastings" is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
