[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 391478, member: 2844"]If the painting is from Europe, whether island or continental, the tower is more likely to be Gothic than Gothic Revival. After all, pointed windows with tracery were Gothic for many centuries before the Revival came along. The slightly tapering shape is a bit odd, it makes me think it could be a folly. Another thing I noticed is the colour difference between the body of the church and the carved parts, which makes me think of Norfolk flint churches with limestone accents. This clearly is not the tower on the painting, but just to show what I mean by the two colours: [IMG]http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/norwichlawrence/images/dscf2827.jpg[/IMG] [URL]http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/norwichlawrence/norwichlawrence.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]
