"Inside the Loggia at Hever Castle"

 Started: 20/01/2025 - Finished: 9/03/2025 - acrylic on canvas - H12" x W12"
$400

Hever Castle, in Kent (south of London), was the girlhood home of Anne Boleyn, 2nd wife of Henry VIII.  Henry later gave the castle to Anna of Cleves, his fourth wife who used it as a residence.  The loggia is part of a large "Italian Garden" built between 1904-1908 by American millionaire William Waldorf Astor (Lord Astor).  Before Astor's time, the area was marshland.

The view here is standing inside the loggia and facing east toward a lake which is part of the River Eden.
