介绍（中）	早在1733年，约翰·维尔图（John Vertue）就断言塔韦纳"在以出色的方式绘制兰茨卡普方面有着惊人的天赋"，这位艺术家因向英国艺术家展示了意大利和荷兰模式如何被翻译成水彩画而被人们铭记。"意大利河景观"完美地概括了塔韦纳的实验方法。层次的色调定义了形式，身体颜色加强了叶子，铁胆墨水被应用于阴影。这条河类似于温莎附近的泰晤士河，而平坦的建筑和蜿蜒的构图与意大利大师保罗·安内西（Paolo Anesi，1697-1773）的风景相呼应。塔韦纳以坎特伯雷拱门法院检察长的身份谋生，坎特伯雷拱门法院是一个总部位于伦敦的教会法庭。这使他摆脱了画乡村别墅景色的苦差，并使他能够创作出一套颇受保罗·桑迪和托马斯·盖恩斯伯勒赞赏的作品。
介绍（英）	As early as 1733 John Vertue asserted that Taverner had a "wonderfull genius to drawing of Landskap, in an excellent manner," and the artist is remembered for demonstrating to British artists how Italian and Dutch modes, previously associated with oil painting, could be translated into watercolor. "Italianate River Landscape" beautifully encapsulates Taverner’s experimental approach. Layers of tone define form, bodycolor strengthens the foliage, and iron gall ink is applied to the shadows. The river resembles a stretch of the Thames near Windsor, while the planar buildings and sinuous composition echo landscapes by the Italian master Paolo Anesi (1697-1773). Taverner earned his living as Procurator-General of the Court of Arches of Canterbury, an ecclesiastical London-based court. This freed him from the drudgery of painting country house views, and enabled him to develop an accomplished body of work admired by Paul Sandy and Thomas Gainsborough.
