Zusammenfassung

Landscape with Rainbow attributed to Joseph Wright (of Derby). Oil on canvas, 70 cm x 100 cm

Born in Derby, England, he studied painting in London. Wright was known for his use of chiaroscuro (the contrast between light and dark) in his paintings, which gave them a dramatic effect. He was also interested in science and often painted scientific experiments and discoveries. Some of his most famous works include "An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump" and "The Orrery". Wright was a member of the Royal Academy and was highly respected during his lifetime. His legacy continues today as his works are still admired for their technical skill and artistic vision.
