by Dayes, Edward (1763-1804); 57.1x46.1 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: Edward Dayes travelled around Britain making landscape sketches, which he later composed into w/c views. It is likely that the artist only made a detailed sketch of the castle itself, and the scene was mostly composed from imagination in the studio. The picture is painted in the 18th century style of pale washes of grey, blue, green and brown. This is one of many pictures by Edward Dayes that were produced as engravings. Prints of ancient buildings and views were popular at this time. Dayes was appointed Designer to the Duke of York;

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Lympne Castle, Kent" in all its glory. Painted by Edward Dayes in 1790, this watercolor on wove paper captures the essence of the castle and its surroundings. Edward Dayes was known for his landscape sketches, which he later transformed into beautiful watercolor views like this one. It is believed that he only made a detailed sketch of the castle itself and imagined the rest of the scene in his studio. The painting reflects the 18th-century style with its delicate washes of grey, blue, green, and brown. The popularity of prints featuring ancient buildings and landscapes during that time is evident in Dayes' work. This particular piece was produced as an engraving to reach a wider audience. Standing tall amidst lush trees and overlooking a serene river (possibly The Medway), Lympne Castle exudes English charm through its architecture and picturesque setting. Its grandeur is beautifully captured by Dayes' skilled brushstrokes. It's worth noting that Edward Dayes held the prestigious position of Designer to the Duke of York at some point in his career, further highlighting his talent and recognition within artistic circles. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing both natural beauty and architectural splendor.
