Mr. Binyon has drawn attention to the unconscious similarity of Cotman's methods and aims to those of the great schools of China and Japan of more than a thousand years ago. Among ^he better-known of Cotman's drawings of this period we may mention the Twickenham [i%oj) ,Trentham Church (about i^oc)). Drain- ing Mill, Lincolnshire (18 10), 2ia6. Mousehold Heath (18 10) ; these are all reproduced in "Masters of English Landscape Painting " (The Studio Summer Number, 1 903) , in which Mr. Binyon's... illuminating essay was published. The beautiful drawing of Kirkham Abbey, Yorkshire, here reproduced (Plate III) by the courtesy of Messrs. J. Palser & Sons, is 18 ' an admirable example of Cotman's wonderful mastery in the use of de- cided washes of pure colour. In 1 8 1 7 Cotman made his first visit to Normandy, and after this date his colour becomes warmer,brighter,and more arbitrary. After abouti 825 he indulges himself freely in the use of the strong primary colours, in- fluenced probably by Turner's daring chromatic experiments.
