Alfred Capel-Cure: A Glimpse into the Artistic Journey Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating works of Alfred Capel-Cure, a talented artist whose creations spanned various subjects and landscapes. From Montacute House near Yeovil to Falaise Castle, his brushstrokes brought these architectural marvels to life with intricate detail and vibrant colors. In 1858, Capel-Cure turned his attention to the Town Hall in Cirencester, capturing its grandeur and historical significance. His ability to convey the essence of a place through art is evident in every stroke of his brush. But it wasn't just buildings that fascinated him; people also played an important role in his artistic repertoire. In 1859, he painted Reverend L. C. Cure and His Pony, showcasing not only his skill as a portraitist but also his knack for capturing human connections. Capel-Cure's love for animals shines through in Peter, a charming depiction of man's best friend. The bond between man and dog is beautifully portrayed with warmth and tenderness. His travels took him far beyond England's borders too. Byland Abbey stands tall on canvas as he expertly captures its majestic ruins against a backdrop of nature reclaiming its space. The American Creeper at Blake House showcases Capel-Cure's keen eye for botanical beauty. The delicate vines intertwine with the architecture, creating an enchanting harmony between man-made structures and nature itself. Harry comes alive on canvas as we catch a glimpse into someone's world - perhaps even Capel-Cure himself or someone close to him - their personality shining through every brushstroke. Not limited to painting alone, Capel-Cure delved into other forms of artistry by reproducing Hogarth's print illustrating the Dunciad Book I line III. This demonstrates both his admiration for past masters' work while adding his own unique touch.
