    George Peploe Brown, A Chapel In Toledo Cathedral

    This atmospheric 19th-century oil painting by British artist George Peploe Brown (1840-1909) depicts a chapel in Toledo Cathedral, Spain. Three figures kneel at the ironwork gates with a glimpse of the altar beyond them. The sacred Gothic architecture is captured with a sense of sobriety. It’s sombre, silent and reflective.

    Seven years prior to completing this work, Brown tragically lost his wife Harriette Wilberforce Brown (nee Bird) and he never truly recovered. It seems that travelling helped to ease his heart and he found particular solace in the spirit and warmth of Spain. Perhaps the awe-inspiring interiors of Spanish cathedrals provided a degree of celestial comfort.

    Signed/titled and dated. Held within a fine gilt frame with a reeded border and leaves to the corners.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
