EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the medieval era. Painted by Ford Madox Brown, this tempera on panel artwork measures 26.2x56.9 cm and can be found at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The print showcases a reduced version of the mural originally displayed at Manchester Town Hall. It depicts a bustling scene filled with intriguing details such as a bulldog, pulley, lantern, town crier, bell, meat, muzzle, grater and more. The composition exudes an air of historical significance as it represents legislation surrounding weights and measures during that time period. Brown's pre-Raphaelite style shines through in this piece with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors. The artist skillfully captures the essence of medieval life while also conveying the importance of standardizing measurements for trade and commerce. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Brown's masterpiece even if we cannot see the original mural firsthand.
