Description: | Oil on canvas. The castle depicted is a folly known as Stainborough Castle, which was built on the estate of Wentworth Castle by the first Earl of Strafford, between 1730 and 1739. The folly, built as a ruin, took the former name of Wentworth Castle, which is situated in Stainborough, South Yorkshire. It is an unusual work by Thomas Bardwell, who is better known for portraits and decorative works, and for writing The Practice of Painting and Perspective Made Easy, a manual for aspiring artists. | Subjects: | hill topography tree grass folly landscape C18th castle | Temporal: | 1745 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Thomas Bardwell | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
