EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Panoramic before view, from the Red Book for Antony House" takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the meticulous landscape design proposed by Humphry Repton. The image showcases an idyllic rural scene in Cornwall's countryside, where a worker can be seen laboring with a wheelbarrow amidst lush fields and grazing sheep. The painting holds historical significance as it reveals Repton's plan to remove a hill in order to create a new road within the estate of Antony House. This proposal aimed at enhancing accessibility while maintaining the natural beauty of the grounds. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical labor involved but also Jane Austen-esque elements that evoke Mansfield Park vibes. As part of The Stapleton Collection and now residing in a private collection, this artwork provides valuable insights into English landscape design during that era. It serves as both an artistic representation and documentation of proposed landscaping work undertaken on prestigious estates like Antony House. Through this panoramic view, we are transported back in time and invited to appreciate not only Repton's vision but also the dedication required by those who labored tirelessly behind these grand designs.
