Francis Danby (1793-1861) paintings in the UK were of the west much more than southeast, and his views were always country-based: though there may be a recognizable feature of a city in the distance, life in the city is never what he captured. His subject matter, in its viewpoint, is more a constant in his work than the style of the work or typical coloring. More than many landscape artists, he appears to have adapted his style to the location. This carries over to his work on continental scenes, which he did more of than many British artists.
