About the piece
Attributed to George Smith of Chichester around 1750, this oil painting is a masterful example of the English landscape tradition. It depicts a quiet scene near Arundel, Sussex, where the crumbling textures of stone ruins contrast with the soft, organic forms of the surrounding trees and the stillness of the water, all under a vast, atmospheric sky.
