James Giles Watercolours

James Giles Watercolours

Aberdeen Art Gallery

Throughout June, July, August

A new display from the permanent collection of watercolours by the Victorian Aberdeen artist, James Giles. In 1824, from Paris, Giles journeyed into the warm Mediterranean light of the south of France and then onto Italy. The artist's continental sketches show a remarkable freedom and appreciation of light and range from studies of Venetian skies to exquisite watercolours of the landscapes and ruins that he visited.
