Jane Carpanini
Old Court, Selwyn College

Lithograph
30 x 42 cm

Born in Bedfordshire, Jane Carpanini studied at Brighton College of Art and the University of Reading. Since the start of her career she has been known for meticulous architectural paintings. Wales has been a favourite subject and she has paintings in the collections of the National Library of Wales and National Museum of Wales. Her renowned series of views of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges were published by Contemporary Watercolours and have since featured regularly in the Oxford and Cambridge Today magazines.

Throughout her career, Carpanini has exhibited widely and her work is held by many public and private collections both in the UK and abroad. She was a regular exhibitor with the major Societies and was the first woman officer of the Royal Watercolour Society, serving as the Honorary Treasurer and also as Vice-President. In 2003 she was also nominated for the Presidency of the RWS becoming the first ever female candidate for the post.

This lithograph depicts a sunny day over the Old Court at Selwyn College, featuring the Chapel, Master’s Lodge and the Hall, recognisable by its distinctive stairs. A few students or academics wander round the periphery, perhaps enjoying this summery Cambridge scene.

Condition: generally very good, can come framed.
