William Edward Webb (British, 1862-1903)

St. German's Cathedral, Peel Castle, Isle of Man
signed 'W.E.Webb' (lower right)
oil on canvas
40.7 x 61cm. (16 x 24in.)

Footnotes

The ruined cathedral stands within the castle precincts and its east end formed part of the old castle wall. The castle complex was originally enclosed by a fortified wall erected by the Earl of Derby in 1593 which also contains the three-storied tower or peel from which the town derives its name; this latter feature is clearly visible in this painting standing directly above the pierhead lighthouse on the left.
