Over het werk
This is one design from a set of designs for Brodick Castle, Isle of Arran for the Duke of Hamilton. The style is unusual for Pugin, but the lively, flowing quality of the decoration, and details such as the scrolls around the coat of arms over the door in E.1513-1912 seem to reveal Pugin's master hand. J. G. Crace may have made amendments.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) is widely considered as one of the most significant and influential architects, designers and theorists of the 19th century. Following his conversion to Catholicism in 1835, he identified the Gothic style with Christian architecture and his work and writings inspired and framed the Gothic Revival. In 'Contrasts', published in 1836, he condemned classical forms and ardently praised 14th and 15th-century architecture. Pugin is best remembered for his work on the Palace of Westminster.
