WATER in ART


The study of water in art may initially involve examining the different ways in which it has been represented. Water has often been shown or indicated in the form of a symbol or stylized in some way.
At other times, during the Renaissance and later, it is represented more realistically. Many artists painted water in motion - a flowing stream or river, a turbulent ocean, or even a waterfall - but also enjoyed views of tranquil waters - lakes, slow-moving rivers, and views of a calm sea. In each case, the water determined the overall mood of the image.
