Gardiner has known this folly for decades and first painted it in the 1990s. Here, the Globe is viewed from the east in an expansive setting that includes the turret of Durlston Castle, perched on the hill’s summit. Gardiner’s treatment of the Globe is partly inspired by spheres seen in the paintings of John Tunnard.
