Description

Dunstanburgh Castle, just outside Craster is in the heart of the stunning county of Northumberland one of Stead’s favourite places and somwhere he visits often, to paint or to get away from it all. The painting forms part of the ‘Turner Project’,

Dunstanburgh was painted by JMW Turner on several occasions though he seems to have visited only once during his tour of the North of England in 1797. Although Turner seems to have explored the castle only once, it was one of the subjects he depicted most often in his career, its ruins allowing him to meditate on the contrasts between past and present.
