17th Century Dutch School
View of a Cathedral, 17th Century Dutch Ink and Wash Artwork, Mounted

About the Item

Ink and wash on paper Image size: 7 1/2 x 6 inches (19 x 15.25 cm) Mounted This drawing is of a Gothic style church in the Netherlands that is likely to have been built in the 15th and 16th centuries at the height of Gothic architecture in the area. Indeed, during the final years of the 15th century, and the beginning of the century that followed, there arose in the Netherlands a highly refined variant of Late Gothic architecture. Prominent patrons and artists continued to nurture this fertile Gothic idiom well into the 1530s, commissioning government buildings and guildhalls, churches and cathedrals. In the Cathedral here we can see depicted, multiple times, the defining design element of Gothic architecture in the pointed, or ogival, arch. It was the use of this pointed arch that in turn led to the development of the pointed rib vault and flying buttresses (not seen here) combined with elaborate tracery and stained glass windows (as seen here). With these features a new architectural style emerged that emphasised the verticality and the effect created by the transmission of light through the series of stained glass windows in the religious space.

  • A View Near Redhill, 19th Century Pen and Ink Drawing by Samuel Palmer
    By Samuel Palmer (b.1805)
    Located in London, GB
    Pen and ink on paper, inscribed 'Redhill' and dated 'June 24th 1872' lower left Image size: 4 x 8 inches (10 x 20 cm) Mounted and Framed Provenance Given to Ernest Pearce by Carlos Peacock, from the collection of Miss Louisa Twining (1820-1911), a pupil of Samuel Palmer. Carlos noted in his letter accompanying the work to Ernest Pearce that 'Going through my Palmer things for mounting the other day. I found this little sketch dating from the Redhill days. Thought you might like it by way of a Christmas gift'. Literature Carlos Peacock, Samuel Palmer , Shoreham and After, published by John Baker 1968, illustrated on page 67. This delicate pen and ink drawing depicts a view at Redhill, a town in the borough of Reigate within the county of Surrey, England. While Palmer's reputation rests mainly on his Shoreham work some of his later work, such as his sketches from Redhill, have recently received more appreciation. In 1872 Palmer was living in Redhill, at his last home, The Chantry at Cronks Hill. The Chantry is now Grade II listed due to the Palmer connection and Palmer Close, a cul-de-sac in Redhill (built in the 1960's), was also named in his honour. This work is an illustration of rural paradise, a vision of the natural world where there is a cosmic harmony between man and his environment. Indeed, Alfred Palmer, the artist's son, wrote 'Had the artist depended for his material solely on the fields, and woods, and hills around him, and had he used that material in a sordid way, he might have given us faithful representations of those he selected, but there would have been inevitable repetition, and he would never have shown us as he has undoubtedly done, the very spirit and quintessence of the loveliest and most poetic pastoral scenery - scenery which we may imagine as that of ancient England...
