Posting in Germany, c1780-1825. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
Posting in Germany, c1780-1825. Travellers outside an inn....we can see Rowlandson devoting himself to experimentation with chiaroscuro to discover to what degree and in what manner he might develop his work in subtle arrangements of chromatic harmonies. Nowhere do we find the results of these early experiments more vividly illustrated than in the scenes of coach activity. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]

Posting in Germany, c1780-1825 - A Captivating Glimpse into the World of Coach Travel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Posting in Germany" we are transported back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The scene depicts a group of travelers outside an inn, eagerly awaiting their next journey. Rowlandson's artistic brilliance shines through as he experiments with chiaroscuro, skillfully playing with light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. Through his subtle arrangements of chromatic harmonies, he brings life to the vibrant colors that adorn both the people and their surroundings. The focus on coach activity is where Rowlandson's early experiments truly come alive. The horse-drawn vehicles stand proudly amidst the bustling scene, symbolizing not only transportation but also a way of life during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of movement and excitement. As we delve deeper into this artwork from "The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson" curated by Arthur W. Heintzelman at Boston Public Library, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within each brushstroke. This piece serves as a testament to Rowlandson's talent for capturing human interaction within architectural landscapes. Through this image, we witness a snapshot in time—a moment frozen forever—where men and women from different walks of life come together on their journeys across Germany. It invites us to imagine ourselves among them, experiencing both the thrill and anticipation that accompanied travel during these times. "Posting in Germany" is more than just an art piece; it is a portal into history—an invitation for us to explore our past through color-filled narratives captured by one exceptional artist’s vision.
