Castleton, Derbyshire, in the Peaks District. This has been a popular tourist destination for two centuries. Mostly because of its rugged landscape, Peveril Castle (11th C) Peaks Cave?also called the
Devils Arse?the largest cavern in Britain, 3 other caves and the
lovely village. <p>This painting depicts the Castleton Servants
School (presumably on the grounds of Castleton Hall). In the
foreground is a bridge over the the Peakshole Water (a small river
orginating in Peaks Cavern) and St Edmunds church in the
background.
<p>The picture is an oil on canvas and appears to be quite old. We have seen an engraving of the same scene, but can not say which came first. It is framed in a fancy molding that
is probably original to this painting. This canvas is unsigned.
<p>Canvas measures 21 x 14 inches. Frame is 25 x 19 inches.
<p>There is some paint loss and a small repair, as shown and some fine crazing.
<p>Circa Mid-late 19th C.
<p>Please see our inventory for more antique paintings, prints
and sculptures. As well as antiques of all kinds.
