EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1764, where we find ourselves standing in awe before the majestic Corfe Castle in Dorset. Painted by John Inigo Richards, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 33.5x46 cm and is now housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. The artist skillfully captures the haunting beauty of this Norman ruin under a moonlit sky. Bathed in ethereal light, the castle's weathered stones stand as a testament to its rich history and enduring presence. The scene exudes an air of melancholy and desolation, with its bleak surroundings adding to its enigmatic allure. Intriguingly, amidst these ancient remains, we notice a couple depicted in silhouette against the moonlit backdrop. Their presence adds a touch of human connection to an otherwise solitary landscape. Perhaps they are drawn here by curiosity or seeking solace within these historic walls. As we gaze upon this evocative nocturne, it becomes clear that Richards has masterfully captured both the physical grandeur and emotional resonance of Corfe Castle. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with ruins - symbols not only of decay but also resilience and endurance throughout time.
