Henry Edridge, British 1768-1821- Founder’s Tower, Magdalene College, Oxford; pencil, pen, ink, and wash on wove paper, faintly inscribed 'Edridge' and 'CB', 'Founder's Tower', and 'Magdalen [sic.] College' verso, 32.3 x 28.1 cm. Provenance: Charles Burney. Gifted to the present owner after their award of Fellowship to Magdalene College, Oxford. Private Collection, UK. Note: Edridge was a prominent watercolourist, principally known for his portraits, depicting well-known public figures such as Lord Nelson (1758-1805), William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), and John Wesley (1703-1791). Alongside his thriving career as a portraitist, Edridge also enjoyed painting landscapes, and the present work is an example of the artist's serene, romantic output in this genre. Edridge's landscapes in particular show the influence of the 'Monro School' of artists, with whom he was associated. This group of artists, which included Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), Thomas Hearne (1744-1817) and Thomas Girtin (1775-1802) often gathered at the home of prominent art collector and physician Dr. Thomas Monro (1759-1833), who is also depicted in a portrait by Edridge [Indianapolis Museum of Art, 1996.156].
