EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating watercolour and pencil print titled "Burial Place of the Breadalbanes, 1826-1827" by Mary Elizabeth Bennet transports us to the enchanting Scottish Highlands. Measuring at a modest 15.1x10.6 cm, this artwork holds immense beauty within its small frame. Lady Mary Bennet, daughter of the Earl of Tankerville and resident of Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, showcases her exceptional talent for drawing in this piece. Under the guidance of renowned London artist John Varley, Lady Mary honed her skills as an upper-class lady during that era. During a memorable journey through Scotland's rugged landscapes alongside her brother in 1826, Lady Mary meticulously sketched scenes that would later inspire this breathtaking watercolour view. The Scottish landscape had gained popularity after the emergence of the Picturesque style - characterized by wild and untamed scenery - towards the end of the 18th century. Lady Mary's artistic prowess shines through as she captures both the grandeur and serenity found within nature's embrace. Her attention to detail is evident in every stroke, transporting viewers to a time when untouched beauty reigned supreme. Intriguingly enough, Lady Mary eventually tied knots with Sir Charles Monck from Belsay Hall in Northumberland after creating this masterpiece. This print serves as a testament to her remarkable talent and enduring legacy. This stunning artwork from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums allows us to appreciate not only Lady Mary Bennet's skill but also offers a glimpse into Scotland's mesmerizing landscapes during that period.
