Description: | Edward Dayes was a well-known topographical artist who travelled the country producing picturesque views such as this one of Lympne Castle on The Medway. He is best remembered today as the teacher of Thomas Girtin, and his work was also influential on the young Turner. Although Turner and Girtin's early views are often difficult to distinguish from Daye's, they soon began to break away from his picturesque treatment of ruins in favour of a more Romantic interpretation of Britain's ruined past. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Edward Dayes | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
