Paul Sandby. Caesar’s Tower and Part of Warwick Castle from the Island, plate three from Views of Warwick Castle. 1776. England. Etching and aquatint in bistre on heavy cream laid paper Paul Sandby was the first English artist to seek the picturesque in the broken surfaces and timeworn buildings of Scotland and Wales. In his many landscapes and views of castles, Sandby incorporated buildings, townspeople, animals, and other minor elements as details that heighten the sense of the picturesque. The balance of buildings with the flow of the landscape is perhaps one of the most attractive features
