Henry Gilder is a Rococo painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Gilder painted watercolours of a crumbling Kent castle in the 1770s. His two sheets show the same ruins, one inside the courtyard and one from the outside, both in soft blues and browns. He recorded details like arched doorways and ivy-covered walls before the site faded further. Tap either view to zoom in on the weathered stone and quiet angles of Cooling Castle.
