Frederick John Nettleford, a man of refined taste and deep appreciation for art, was captivated by the beauty captured in various masterpieces. From the serene Brinkburn Priory in Northumberland, as depicted by JMW Turner in 1830, to the charming St. Albans portrayed by George Sidney Shepherd in 1809, Nettleford found solace and inspiration within these works. The idyllic scenes of nature also held a special place in Nettleford's heart. Patrick Nasmyth's "A Woodmans Cottage" from 1820 transported him to a tranquil countryside retreat, while James Clarke Hook's "A Devonshire Stream" painted in 1864 allowed him to immerse himself into the soothing sounds of flowing water. Nettleford had an affinity for Kent landscapes too. Richard Hilder's depictions of Otford and Sevenoaks showcased their picturesque charm during different periods of the 19th century. Birket Foster's "The Green Lane" further enchanted Nettleford with its inviting pathway leading towards unknown adventures. However, it wasn't just landscapes that fascinated Frederick John Nettleford; he admired historical scenes as well. Peter Monamy's depiction of "Men of War" from around 1720 evoked images of grand naval battles and heroic endeavors on stormy seas. David Cox the elder's masterpiece titled "Crossing the Sands, Ulverston, " created circa 1834 caught his attention with its dramatic portrayal of people navigating treacherous terrain amidst crashing waves. Religious architecture also intrigued Nettleford; John Varley I captured his imagination with his rendition of St. Alkmunds Church in Shrewsbury dating back to 1801. Meanwhile, JMW Turner presented Beeston Castle in Cheshire circa 1839 as an awe-inspiring fortress perched atop rolling hills.
