    Adopted by Crowthers of Syon Lodge, 1994

Van Delen was an early specialist in architectural painting. His works, like this example, usually feature simple single-point perspective views of extremely elaborate fantasy palaces. They are ultimately derived from illustrated text-books on the science of perspective.
