EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print, titled "Rouen, seen from Bon-Secours, 1823-1826" transports us back to the enchanting countryside of nineteenth-century Normandy. The artist Thales Fielding beautifully captures the elevated view of Rouen as seen from Bon-Secours, showcasing a picturesque landscape that is both tranquil and awe-inspiring. The scene depicts a hilly terrain with a meandering river cutting through the natural space. The rooftops of buildings in Rouen can be spotted in the distance, adding a touch of urbanity to this otherwise rural setting. The hand colouring technique employed by Fielding enhances the charm and vibrancy of this artwork. As we delve into this early nineteenth-century masterpiece, we are reminded of the romantic era it belongs to. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and wanderlust as we imagine ourselves embarking on an outing amidst lush greenery and serene waters. The presence of two figures - one male and one female - adds a human element to the composition, hinting at their journey or perhaps simply enjoying each other's company while taking in the breathtaking view. This print not only showcases British artistry but also pays homage to Richard Parkes Bonington's original painting upon which it is based. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, serving as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage.
