Watercolour
33 x 20 cm
Signed and dated 1963.
Sir Albert Edward Richardson (1880–1964) was a distinguished British architect, teacher, and historian, known for his deep reverence for classical design principles and his pivotal contributions to architecture during the 20th century. He was a prolific figure whose work and writings championed traditional architectural forms amidst the rise of modernism.
Sir Albert Richardson’s involvement with Antwerp is less well-documented and less prolific than his contributions in other areas, such as Dieppe or his architectural work in Britain. However, as in the other cities, he remained captivated by the architecture of Antwerp and produced numerous studies, including this watercolour of the Cathedral of Our Lady, during his time there.
Condition: Generally very good, slight age toning to paper.
