The online catalogue is a major resource for everyone interested in the golden age of British watercolour, the major artists of the era and their legacies. The website incorporates innovative features that enable image selection and juxtaposition. Copious interlinking between records generates a comprehensive picture of the artist, his contemporaries and the development of the art world since his death. Greg Smith's meticulously compiled catalogue documents more than 1,550 drawings and watercolours, doubling the works previously identified by Thomas Girtin and David Loshak in their 1954 monograph on the artist. Extensive new photography has been commissioned to offer fully illustrated entries (often with comparative and source material) that are each described in substantive texts. Digitisation has led to the discovery of the sources for a large number of Girtin's watercolours, including the substantial number of drawings that he produced in collaboration with Turner early in his career. A series of long-form essays frame Girtin's life and work, supplemented by a comprehensive archive of sales, exhibitions, publications and transcriptions of early biographical accounts and newly discovered manuscript material"--Distributor's website.
