<p>Inscr. ‘P W Steer 1905’ b.l.
<br/>Canvas, 30 1/8×36 1/8 (76·5×91·5).
<br/>Presented by Miss Mary Hoadley Dodge 1909.
<br/><i>Exh:</i> N.E.A.C., summer 1909 (25); Tate Gallery, April–July 1929 (183); National Gallery, June–August 1943 (61); Tate Gallery, November–December 1960 (48, repr. pl.13).
<br/><i>Lit:</i> MacColl in <i>Artwork</i>, No.17, 1929, p.16; MacColl, 1945, pp.51, 206, repr. pl.30b.
<br/><i>Repr:</i> Ironside, 1943, pl.46.</p>
<p>MacColl records that it was J. S. Sargent who prompted his compatriot Miss Dodge to present the <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/painting" title="Glossary definition for 'Painting'"><span>painting</span></a>, the first by Steer to enter the collection. The view should be compared with that chosen by J. M. W. Turner in his <i>Liber Studiorum</i> (repr. MacColl, 1945, pl.30a), which Steer always carried with him on his excursions. At least three other compositions of Chepstow Castle dating from 1905 to 1906 are listed by MacColl (<i>op. cit.</i>), including one in the collection of H. M. the Queen Mother of 1906 which shows the castle seen from a more distant point than in <span>N02473</span>.</p>
