Mont Orgueil Castle, Jersey-painted by J. Wilson, Jun,1854. Creator: Unknown.

Mont Orgueil Castle, Jersey - painted by J. Wilson, Jun, 1854. 'This spirited sea-piece was exhibited at the British Institution last year...it is a beautiful scene, pure in colouring, and effective in general treatment: the transparency and motion are well rendered in the heaving sea and the fleeting clouds; and the fine old Castle upon the high rocky promontory is very picturesque. It is distant about fourteen miles from the coast of France, of which it commands a splendid view for many leagues; and is said to derive its name of Mont Orgueil (Mount Pride) from the Duke of Clarence, brother to Henry X., one of its Governors...The Castle has its many stories of siege and captivity; and, as one of the prison-houses of Charles I, is especially interesting. The keep, or main fortress, is an immense oval building'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
