Description: | Arundel Castle in West Sussex, England, is a restored medieval castle. The castle dates from the reign of Edward the Confessor (r.1042-1066) and was completed by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries. This painting is unusual as it is painted in an orientalist style which seems at odds with the subject manner. However many artists travelled to the Far East during the Victorian period which created a whole new genre of painting and sphere of influence.

There are figures on horseback at the river bank. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Fine arts Countryside Landscape Oil painting Oil Paintings Georgian period Art collections | Temporal: | 1800 - 1870
