Painting Description
Preliminary Design For An Elevation Of Knoll, Now Known As Lyndhurst, Tarrytown, New York, is a notable architectural drawing by the esteemed 19th-century American architect Alexander Jackson Davis. This work is an early conceptual rendering for what would eventually become Lyndhurst, a prominent Gothic Revival mansion located in Tarrytown, New York. Davis, a key figure in the Gothic Revival movement in the United States, is renowned for his innovative and picturesque designs that often incorporated elements of medieval European architecture.
The drawing, created in the early 1830s, showcases Davis's visionary approach to residential architecture, emphasizing verticality, asymmetry, and intricate detailing. The design reflects the romantic and picturesque ideals that were gaining popularity during this period, characterized by steeply pitched roofs, pointed arches, and elaborate ornamentation. These elements were intended to evoke the grandeur and mystery of medieval Gothic structures while adapting them to the American landscape and sensibilities.
Lyndhurst, originally known as "Knoll," was commissioned by William Paulding Jr., a former New York City mayor. The estate underwent several expansions and renovations, with Davis playing a significant role in its development over the years. The mansion's final form, completed in the 1860s, stands as a testament to Davis's enduring influence on American architecture and his ability to blend aesthetic beauty with functional design.
Today, Lyndhurst is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as a museum. It remains one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the United States, attracting visitors and scholars interested in architectural history and 19th-century American culture. The Preliminary Design For An Elevation Of Knoll serves as a crucial piece of architectural history, offering insight into the creative process of one of America's most influential architects and the evolution of one of its most iconic historic homes.
