David Fulton
City Garden with Windmill Beyond - Scottish 19th century landscape oil painting

Circa 1890

About the Item

This superb 19th century oil painting is by noted exhibited Scottish artist David Fulton. Painted circa 1890 the composition is a city garden, possibly Edinburgh, in the foreground with houses rising up the hill beyond to a windmill. There is also a bridge to the middle left which may help to identify the precise location. The windmill is a tower mill construction - A tower mill is a type of vertical windmill consisting of a brick or stone tower, on which sits a wooden 'cap' or roof, which can rotate to bring the sails into the wind. This rotating cap on a firm masonry base gave tower mills great advantages over earlier post mills, as they could stand much higher, bear larger sails, and thus afford greater reach into the wind. There were a surprising number of windmills in cities, mostly now demolished. A lovely Scottish oil painting with plenty of interest. Signed lower right. Provenance: Somerset estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 30 inches by 20 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate frame, 38 inches by 28 inches framed and in good condition. David Fulton RSW (1848-1930) Fulton was born in Parkhead Scotland and Studied at the Glasgow School of art. He was a painting of landscape, Interiors and Figurative subjects.
