Display caption
Although De Wint is best known as a watercolourist, he was trained as an oil painter under John Raphael Smith and used the medium throughout his life. According to family tradition, he would have devoted himself to oil painting had he found any buyers for his work. After De Wint's death his dealer was surprised to find the attic of the artist's house fitted up as a gallery of his unsold oils.
