Painting with watercolours supports the ethereal expression and a breathed colourfulness creates scenic worlds with mystical flair. The Romantic period helped watercolor painting gain recognition and acknowledged paintings made of water and color pigments as genuine works of art. Especially in the English art scene, the watercolour painters form a group of artists who receive special attention and appreciation. Watercolors were an expression of a widespread taste in English society.
How individual and personal the frame can be interpreted painting with watercolors, shows the work of John Harden. While the great names of the era, such as Turner and Constable, concentrated on the depiction of landscapes, Harden sought motifs in his personal environment. Scenes of everyday life, captured within his family and friends are the predominant motifs in his early creative period. John's watercolors are characterized by restrained colors and an unusually intense form for the time. While contemporary painters reduced the depictions of people, Harden shows them in typical occupations of the time. Women in convivial gatherings for sewing, quiet moments reading, or a family evening the artist puts on paper. Perhaps John Harden was a conservative artist who only in his later years picked up on the innovations of the era and incorporated them into his landscapes. However, the consistent use of watercolor allows us to draw two conclusions. The invention of tin tubes for storing oil paints has not yet been accomplished. Painting with oil on canvas was only possible in the studio. Watercolors were more of a necessary solution to allow artists to paint in the outdoors. John Harden shows about his painting technique that he worked close to the spirit of the times and had an economic perspective.
The Romantic era resulted from societies changes. The advancing industry, the first railroad and the increasing modernization caused ambivalent feelings. As positive as the progress was, there was a great deal of sensitivity as the changes became irreversibly entrenched. The popularity to travel permeated all walks of life. While many artists embarked on journeys to southern Europe, John Harden was drawn to the Lake District. In the tranquil Lake District, the painter made contact with the circles of Romantic writers and the painter John Constable. Literature and art led a harmonious symbiosis in the vast landscape. A close friendship is said to have developed between the writer William Woodworth and John Harden. It is here that Harden's work begins to change. The painter chooses open landscapes which he relates to people and supports the expression with a fine use of colour. In his very individual way of seeing, he captures the lake landscape and puts it on paper with a fine representational quality.
