Rowland de Winton Aldridge (1906-1997) The Backs, St John's College Cambridge
34x51cm watercolour Born in Kent he was given 'de Winton' after his grandmother, who was related to the De Wintons of the Welsh engineering company De Winton & Co (1854-1901) that built narrow-gauge railways. He was a protégé of Edward Wesson, one of Britian's most important twentieth century watercolourists, and was a prolific artist of landscapes and urban riverscapes. St John's College Cambridge was one of his favourite views to paint, combining as it does an urban riverscape, a landscape and late 17th century buildings. Aldridge was an authority on 18th century architecture and was adviser to Baron Iliffe during his restoration of Basildon Park.

After employment as a camoufleur during World War 2 by the Air Ministry, in 1948 he was appointed as director of architecture for the Festival of Britain. A close friend of the Royal Family, he undertook designs for the 1953 coronation, designed the interior of the Royal Yacht Britannia (“The overall idea was to give the impression of a country house at sea”), and taught the Prince of Wales to paint in watercolours. Amongst his architectural achievements are the Elephant House at London Zoo, the 1978 redevelopment of Bristol Docks, the Raised Faculty Building for The University of Cambridge, and a building for the Royal College of Art.
