THREE CADELLS OF VENICE


It was a really pleasant surprise to see the three Cadells which the SNGMA in Edinburgh acquired last year. Not Cadell's greatest things I am sure, but they are very pleasant and full of  light.

These three works were originally in the collection of Sir Patrick Ford and they were presented to the gallery in his honour. He supported Cadell's visit to Venice in 1910 when these paintings were made.

 The dark frames-a complete contrast to the white Iona frames you see so often- seem quite apropriate here.
