Description: | This view of a popular beauty spot on the River Coquet, near Rothbury, was formerly catalogued as a view of Dunblane Abbey, and was in the collection of the Dunblane Cathderal Museum. However, research showed that this drawing depicts Brinkburn Priory in Northumberland, and came from Turner's 'Smaller Fonthill Sketchbook', used by him during his second major tour of the North in about 1801, The priory is seen from below on the opposite riverbank, as it appeared before the restorations of the 1830's, which were carried out under the direction of the well-known local architect, John Dobson. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1805 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Joseph Mallord William Turner (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
