George Cuitt
(1779-1854). Showing in early life a talent for
drawing, he was helped by Sir Laurence Dundas of
Aske, who sent him to Rome, where he studied for
six years. On his return he settled at Richmond,
where he painted both landscapes and portraits
but settled later in Chester. He etched old
buildings esp castles and abbeys in Yorkshire,
Chester and North Wales. Cuitt studied
Piranesi's etchings of Rome and it is clear how
much his style is influenced by Piranesi in
subject matter and with the ruins covered with
thick vegetation. He etched several series of
studies in the early 19th century. These were
also collected and published together under the
title of 'Wanderings and Pencillings amongst the
ruins of Olden Times'in 1848.
These are
Etchings from his book on Yorkshire Abbeys all
large plate mounted and matted full page with
full margins etc " Views of Old Buildings in
Chester and Yorkshire Abbeys " , 1834 .
