Castle Howard Estate, near York in North Yorkshire is one of the finest stately homes in England. It is the ancestral home of The Hon. Simon Howard and his family.

Ronald Falck has been the Artist in Residence since 2004 producing a range of art works, and at the same time running a series of varied Art Courses which are listed under the Visitor Services Portfolio. These sessions have proved extremely popular over the years and are enjoyed by artists of varying ability. There are excellent indoor facilities (warm and cosy), in case of inclement weather.

For more information regarding these Courses, please telephone 01262 401334 (Studio). The purpose of the Artist's Castle Howard Gallery page is to illustrate the first forty drawings and paintings produced by the artist at Castle Howard, and gives a flavour of his personal vision in response to this magnificent Neo-Classical setting. The site will be updated later with more recent images.

The images displayed in the Artist's Castle Howard Gallery on this website, were sponsored by The Hon. Simon Howard, and The Arts Council of England. These images are intended to cater for several levels of art communication such as realism, sign and symbol, or perhaps visual metaphor or simile. They show the versatility of the artist, responding creatively to capturing the sensory by selecting the significant, and translating the experiences gained through feelings into the images which define moments in time. They are the result of what he sees, what he feels, and what he thinks, or selects because of its significance about the moment or the place at the time, he communicates this using the artist's language.
