PHILIP BOUCHARD

Below: the ‘KEY’ with names of buildings and dates etc to the above painting

This is an aerial view of Bath showing many of the landmarks such as the Royal Crescent and the Roman Baths. The imaginary 'aerial' bridge is inspired by a small, beautiful colonnade in Abbey Church Yard, in the centre of Bath. The view is of the city facing West, towards Bristol.

The Royal Crescent and the Circus can be seen through the colonnade. Pulteney bridge with its row of shops on the bridge itself, built by Robert Adam, can be made out in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. (Private Collection)
