Original Description
Arundel Castle by Edmund Morison Wimperis is a captivating 19th-century architectural watercolor that exudes tranquility and grandeur. Painted circa 1860-1870, this delicate work showcases Wimperis's mastery of the picturesque tradition, combining precise Gothic Revival detail with atmospheric Romanticism. The composition frames Arundel Castle - the ancestral home of the Dukes of Norfolk - amidst lush foliage, its majestic towers rendered in soft washes of gray and ochre that dissolve into a luminous sky. Wimperis, a noted illustrator for publications like The Builder, elevates architectural documentation to poetry through his sensitive handling of light and texture. This work represents the Victorian era's fascination with medieval heritage and demonstrates how topographical art evolved from mere record-keeping to expressive interpretation. Its historical significance lies in bridging the technical precision of architectural drawing with the emotive qualities of landscape painting.
For interior decoration, this elegant work suits traditional or academic spaces exceptionally well. Consider hanging it in a study or library with rich wood paneling, where its subtle earth tones complement leather-bound books and mahogany furnishings. The ideal frame would be a slender gold-leaf molding (about 3-4 inches wide) to enhance the watercolor's delicacy without overwhelming it. At approximately 25×40 cm (typical for Wimperis's works), it creates an intimate focal point when displayed at eye level alongside companion pieces - perhaps antique maps or smaller botanical drawings arranged asymmetrically. In modern interiors, pair it with sage green or warm taupe walls to create harmonious contrast, allowing the castle's stonework to visually "anchor" the space. The painting's gentle horizontality makes it perfect above a sideboard or fireplace mantel, where viewers can appreciate its narrative detail at leisure.
