Room 2
South Transept of York Minster
York Minster is hemmed in by buildings and it is difficult to show more than a fragment of the structure. Girtin squeezed in all of the south transept, as well as the three towers of the facade and the crossing, though this led to some distortions in the perspective.
This work was commissioned by Walter Fawkes, who was later to be Turner's most important patron. |
