POA
The warm silver or golden light of Creswick's landscapes, and the clear definition of his structures, could rival those of David Roberts or Thomas Jones. After his election to Royal Academician in 1850, he quite frequently collaborated with other artists, generously (or advisedly) leaving animals and figures to more junior painters; here, Marcus Stone has painted the figures. Roslyn Castle stands by the River Esk near Edinburgh.
