After Paul Sandby Set of Three Prints of Windsor Castle

AFTER PAUL SANDBY "View of the town through gate", "View of the Governor of the Poor Knights Tower and the Garter Chamber", and "Town gate Windsor Castle" (from drawings in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle).

Both Paul Sandby (1730-1809) and his brother Thomas (1721-98) began work first in their birthplace, Nottingham, before entering the Ordnance Drawing Room at the Tower of London, where they trained as military draughtsmen. After a period in Scotland, in 1751 Paul went to live with his brother, then Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park, where he painted and sketched the castle and local inhabitants, before settling in London in 1760.Thomas Gainsborough recommended Paul Sandby to at least one patron who wanted views of his country estate as the only contemporary English landscape artist who painted 'real views from nature', as opposed to his own imaginary compositions. But in addition tho faithful topographical views, Sandby was also concerned with elevating the regard in which landscape was held at the Royal Academy, and painted many large imaginary views in bodycolour and watercolour, intended to hang framed alongside oils on the walls of the Academy and the houses of his patrons.
