Description: | The painting depicts a view across the Thames towards Twickenham and shows (from left to right) the house of John Robartes, later 4th Earl of Radnor; the Bath House of the Earl of Radnor; Pope's villa; Countess Ferrer's domed summerhouse (in the centre); Crossdeep Lodge; Cross Deep, built for James Fish; The Grove, owned by Major-General Andrew Bissett; the house of the French Ambassador; Eel Pie Island, and the tower of St Marys, Twickenham. The painting can be dated to the early 1720s by certain architectural details, such as the absence of a balustraded porch and balcony on Pope's villa, and by the fact that Tillemans worked on a number of views of this area in the years 1720-25. | Subjects: | Thames) landscape (Twickenham | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Tillemans, Peter (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1684-1734, active in Great Britain) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8520... | Go to resource |
