Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland – Limited Edition Print

£36.00

I don’t need much of an excuse to paint Dunstanburgh Castle. Northumberland’s Castles are well photographed and painted by amateurs and professionals alike.

I’ve often been commissioned to do paintings of castles and I have to say, it’s always a delight.

One such project came in 2003 when I was commissioned to do around a dozen large watercolours of North East castles for a major North East Company to hang in their boardrooms.

Dunstanburgh Castle was one of the chosen castles. I decided to paint it on a summer evening just as the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon with the waves pounding down on the rocks.

Prints of Dunstanburgh Castle are now available as a limited edition print.  I decided to paint the original on a summer evening just as the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon with the waves pounding down on the rocks.

Dunstanburgh Castle

Built on the most magnificent scale, Dunstanburgh Castle | English Heritage stands on a remote headland in Northumberland.

Dunstanburgh Castle was built at a time when relations between King Edward II and his most powerful baron, Earl Thomas of Lancaster, had become openly hostile. Lancaster began the fortress in 1313, and the latest archaeological research indicates that he built it on a far grander scale than was originally recognised, perhaps more as a symbol of his opposition to the king than as a military stronghold.
