Description

William Alfred Delamotte, 
British 1775-1863- 

Berry Pomeroy Castle, after Joseph Mallord WilliamTurner; 

pencil, pen, and watercolour on paper, signed 'Wm Delamotte' verso, 24.6 x 34.7 cm. 

Provenance: 
The Wren Gallery Ltd, London. 
Private Collection, UK (by descent). 

Note: 
Delamotte studied under Benjamin West (1738-1820), and, like West, enjoyed the patronage of King George III. He was a prolific draughtsman, producing extensive sketches and watercolours throughout Europe, in addition to the many executed in Oxford where he spent much of his life. Turner's original watercolour, dating to c.1812-15, is smaller than the present work and is housed in the Tate [no.D08159]. It was reproduced in etching and mezzotint by Henry Dawe (attributed) and Turner himself (see Royal Academy, London no.03/3316]. 

Berry Pomeroy Castle was started in 1560 but never completed, and, by 1700, had been abandoned. It served as a romantic subject for many generations of artists.
