Stonehenge from the east

John William Inchbold was an English painter born in Leeds, Yorkshire. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite style Inchbold’s dramatic view of Stonehenge shows the landscape under a cloudy sky with the setting sun illuminating the stones. Several of Inchbold’s paintings are in the Tate Gallery and Leeds City Art Gallery, but this is his largest work.
