Artists associated with Bristol in early 1800s inspired by local scenery especially River Avon and Avon Gorge. Principal figures were Francis Danby during the roughly ten years he spent there before moving to London 1824, and JB Pyne. Both had pupils and followers notably Samuel Colman who made highly personal contribution to genre of biblical and landscape fantasy Danby later became known for (in rivalry with John Martin), and the prolific landscapist WJ Müller known for his Orientalist scenes as well as Avon studies.
