Girtin

Girtin, during his short career, had no selfish ideas of keeping his knowledge of painting to himself.

The influence of Girtin upon English art has hardly been sufficiently recognised.

Both delighted in a golden yellowness of tone which it is probable Girtin had originated.

There is no proof that he ever had confidential relations with any human being, not even Girtin.

He founded his style very much on that of his friend and contemporary Girtin, the water-colour painter.
