 handprint : the topographical tradition
These paintings display Sandby's enjoyment of dynamic human figures and his remarkable talent for suggesting the aural qualities of a place — the snorting of horses, the clang of a flsmith's hammer, the squeak of a waterpump, the echoing of steps on a stairway.
A major aspect of Sandby's achievement was in etching: his artistic influence reached its peak with the publication of the collected etchings in his Virtuosi's Museum in 1778-81, and his Twelve Views of South Wales (1775) launched the popularity of Wales as a picturesque sketching location and were the first aquatints published in England.
Yet Sandby's efforts to bring emotional warmth and human interest to watercolor drawing, and his boundless energy as a technical innovator, Academy founder and generously supportive colleague to fellow artists, were the important founding acts by which English painters made watercolors into a geniunely national art form.

The son of a Nottingham textile artisan and the younger brother of Thomas Sandby (1721-1798), in 1747 he was appointed as a draftsman to the Military Survey in the Highlands, and spent the next five years in Scotland making pen and wash topographical drawings.

Sandby was a versatile artist both in his use of media and in the variety of subjects and genres he attempted, and throughout his career he exhibited works in oil, watercolor and bodycolor [gouache] that range from histories to country house views.

 [No title]
Sandby, one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts, is often described as “the father of the English watercolour” and the undated picture, an atmospheric landscape featuring a man climbing a tree to collect birds’ eggs, is thought to have been painted in the mid-1790s.
He was taught to paint by his older brother, the architect Thomas Sandby (1723-1798), who also found him his first job, as a topographical draughtsman at the age of 11 at the Board of Ordnance Drawing Room at the Tower of London.
A founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768, Sandby was one of the first English artists to use watercolours and gouache and in the 1770s introduced the French technique of aquatint etching to Britain that became a popular process for translating topographical watercolours into prints and book illustrations.
