EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Gothic architecture known as a windscreen. Created by an English School in the 19th century, this engraving is now part of a private collection. The term "windscreen" refers to small circular screens made of wood, either pierced or consisting of intricately carved panels. These screens were typically placed in the corners of rooms or around projecting staircases. The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to fully appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in creating such a stunning architectural element. The fine lines and delicate patterns draw our attention, transporting us back in time to an era when Gothic architecture was at its peak. Adelines Art Dictionary from Virtue (1891) serves as the inspiration for this illustration, providing historical context for this unique term within the world of art and design. It's fascinating how even seemingly mundane architectural features can carry such rich history and cultural significance. Bridgeman Images presents this print from their Fine Art Finder collection, offering art enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece that not only captures beauty but also educates about lesser-known aspects of art history.
