EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the stunning beauty of Merton College and Chapel in Oxford, England. The image, a colour lithograph created by Thomas Rowlandson in the 18th century, showcases the magnificent architecture and grandeur of this historic landmark. Merton College and Chapel stand proudly in the First Quadrangle, their elegant spires reaching towards the sky. The artist's satirical touch adds a humorous element to this otherwise serious depiction, infusing it with wit and charm. This illustration was originally featured in "Rowlandsons Oxford" by A Hamilton Gibbs, published in 1911. The colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the intricate stonework of the chapel to the lush greenery surrounding it. It is a testament to both Rowlandson's artistic skill and his ability to capture not only architectural beauty but also social commentary through satire. This piece transports us back to an era where artistry thrived alongside academia. It serves as a reminder of Merton College's rich history as one of Oxford University's oldest colleges. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate historical landmarks, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its blend of elegance and humor.
