English Romantic Painter, 1775-1802 English painter, draughtsman and printmaker. With his rival, J. M. W. Turner, he extended the technical possibilities of watercolour and in doing so demonstrated that watercolours could have the visual impact and emotional range of oils. Although close in style throughout the 1790s, by 1800 Turner and Girtin were beginning to diverge: whereas the former dissolved forms to express his idea of Nature in a state of flux, the latter sought out a landscape's underlying patterns to convey his awe of Nature's permanence as well as its grandeur. Girtin's reduction of landscape to simple and monumental forms  Related Paintings of Thomas Girtin :. | Das Weibe Haus in Chelsea | the tihe barn abbotsbuy | In the Scotch Borders | The White House at Chelsea | Die Kathedrale von Durham und die Brucke, vom Flub Wear aus gesehen |
