1826
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Escape from Argyle Castle is a 1826 by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three men in old-fashioned clothes. One stands tall in a long coat and hat, holding a sword. Another man kneels on the ground, reaching up to him. A third man lies on the ground, looking tired. Behind them is a big, stone building with tall windows. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The scene looks dramatic but not finished—like a hurried drawing. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this fits into the bigger art movement.
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
