The Canaletto of the Canals: The Soulful Landscapes of Algernon Cecil Newton Algernon Cecil Newton (1880-1968) occupies a singular, luminous space in the pantheon of British landscape painting.

A chart of Algernon Cecil Newton's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
