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.
