More Information
Vol. 90, no. 549, pp. 346-48 The article identifies both Wilson's pictures of Kew, P108
The Ruined Arch in Kew Gardens
and P109
Kew Gardens: The Pagoda and Palladian Bridge
, exhibited at the Society of Artists in May 1762 (130 & 131). The author reveals that 'for well over a hundred years [P108] has been mistakenly known as
Villa Borghese
[...] a striking example of the way in which Wilson's classical transformations of an English landscape can prove deceptive.' Cooper dates the paintings 1761-62 and comments that 'Wilson evidently regarded the two views as a pair, yet there is no great similarity between them'.
