Comments
Hendrik Frans de Cort was a Flemish artist who worked in Antwerp and Paris before settling in England after 1789. A painter of country houses, castles, cathedrals and other views, he frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution between 1790 ad 1806.
Here he paints Eton from the Fifteen-Arch Bridge, a view chosen by so many of the topographical artists who depicted Eton in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
