About this piece

A late 19^th/early 20^th century antique oil on board painting of Warwick Castle. The artwork depicts the castle’s eastern front with its prominent round towers and historic gatehouse.

The painting may possibly be after the 1752 oil painting by Italian artist, Canaletto (1697-1768). Canaletto lived in Britain for over a decade before returning to Venice. Lord Brooke, the 1^st Earl of Warwick, commissioned Canaletto to paint several depictions of Warwick Castle for his London residence following inheriting the castle and his title from his father in 1727.
