Description
George Cuitt Senior (English, 1743-1818) A distant view of Langton Hall near Northallerton, North Yorkshire Circa 1810 Oil on unlined canvas and contained in its antique carved and gilded frame Provenance: Private collection, Derbyshire We are grateful to Gail Falkingham FSA, Assistant Curator of Archaeological Archives at the York Museums Trust, for confirming the identity of the house and its location by the river Swale. Cuitt was born at Moulton, in Yorkshire, and having shown a natural taste for drawing and design was sent to Italy at the expense of Sir Thomas Dundas. His father was employed as a builder by Dundas, who, being impressed at the young Cuitt's aptitude for painting, sent him and his friend Thomas Harrison to Rome to study art. Cuitt and Harrison both took their opportunities for study very earnestly for six years at Rome, the young artist developing his refined landscape style, suffused with southern light, which so characterise his later topographical painting in England. Harrison became a protégé of Pope Clement XIV, developing numerous architectural plans. Cuitt returned to England in 1775. Owing to frequent attacks of fever, presumably malaria caught in Rome, he was unable to reside in London, and he finally settled at Richmond in Yorkshire. Here he found constant employment in the commissions given him by gentlemen whose parks and residences were in his neighbourhood. Dimensions: (Frame) 31.5 in. (H) x 37 in. (W) (Canvas) 25 in. (H) x 30 in. (W)
