EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by William Turner of Oxford takes us back to a stormy day at Stonehenge in 1846. The artist's skilled hand brings the ancient stone circle to life, as dark clouds loom overhead and rain pours down on the rugged landscape. Turner's use of watercolour over graphite creates a sense of movement and drama, capturing the raw power of nature. Stonehenge stands tall and majestic amidst the storm, its massive stones weathered by centuries of time. In the foreground, a flock of sheep huddle together under the watchful eye of their shepherd, seeking shelter from the elements. This juxtaposition between man-made structure and natural forces highlights our connection with both history and nature. The painting evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue that has long surrounded Stonehenge. As one gazes upon this scene, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an era when pagan rituals were performed within these ancient stones. Turner's work exemplifies his romanticist style, emphasizing emotion and atmosphere over precise detail. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he captures not only the physical landscape but also its mood and essence. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, this print serves as a reminder of England's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Turner's artistic brilliance. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in both history and artistry as they contemplate this iconic landmark on that stormy day so many years ago.
