Description: | Edinburgh Castle on its rocky crag dominates this little painting. The castle is lit by golden light and backed by a pale blue sky. It contrasts with the darker, crowded scene of houses, people and animals below. David Roberts painted many city views. He was born near Edinburgh, and painted this lively picture in the middle of his career. Scenes of everyday life were particularly popular in Scotland. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1837 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | David Roberts (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
