Warwick Castle

A castle seen from the river - and a place worth returning to again and again

Warwick Castle is one of England's great medieval fortresses - originally built by William the Conqueror in 1068, rebuilt in stone in the 12th century, and standing magnificently above the River Avon ever since. This watercolour captures it from the river, which is the view that does it full justice - the castle rising above the water, its towers and battlements reflected below, the whole scene with the particular grandeur that only a great castle seen from the right angle can produce.

For the artist, Warwick is a place of regular return - and the highlights are always the same: the rose gardens, which are among the finest in the Midlands, and the falconry, where birds of prey take to the air above the castle grounds in a display that feels entirely medieval and completely thrilling. This painting holds all of that affection for a place that never disappoints.
