Description: | Holme Eden in Cumbria was designed by the North East architect John Dobson in a style based on 16th century Tudor buildings. This is one of a number of views of Dobson's buildings painted by his friend John Wilson Carmichael. The scene illustrates the re-introduction from around 1800 of formal gardens next to the house. Estate staff can be seen talking in groups. Carmichael's composition relies on a tried and trusted formula, the house placed centrally with a screen of trees to the left and right. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists oil paintings art North East artists buildings | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
