Buck, Nathaniel (English draftsman and engraver, ca. 1724-after 1753)
|
Note: Nathaniel and his brother Samual collaborated on prints of antiquities and town prospects, based on sketches made on their annual tours. The Bucks were among the earliest and most systematic antiquarian illustrators in Britain. They were influenced both by the panoramic style of such Dutch artists active in England as Jan Wyck and by the detail of French topographers such as Jean-Baptiste-Claude Chatelain, who worked for the Bucks. Their drawings, made in pen outline and shaded with grey wash, convey essential information about the appearance of a building without the romantic associations found in the work of later 18th-century artists. Comment on works: printmaker, topographical draftsman |
