Capel Carrig, Caernarvonshire 1838 John Sell Cotman This etching of a Welsh chapel demonstrates Cotmans lifelong fascination with the irregularity of old buildings. Gothic arches screen a small side chapel near neatly arranged rows of heavy benches. Broken stone slabs in the left foreground disrupt the orderly interior. In 1824 Cotman had begun a series of etchings titled Liber Studiorum, which paid tribute to J.M.W. Turners famous series of 1807-9. Where Turner employed mezzotint engravers to add tone to his etched outlines, Cotmans choice of soft-ground etching enabled him to create his prints without assistance.. Capel Carrig, Caernarvonshire. Liber Studiorum: A Series of Sketches and Studies. John Sell Cotman (British, Norwich 1782-1842 London). 1838. Soft ground etching. Henry George Bohn (British, London 1796-1884 Twickenham). Prints
