EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pictures of the Year VIII, By the Waters of Babylon, 1888" by Arthur Hacker takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Britain. The image captures a poignant scene along the riverbank in Babylon, Iraq, where three figures find solace amidst their unhappiness. In this classicist composition, a young woman is seated on stone steps with two girls beside her. Their expressions reflect a sense of melancholy and contemplation as they rest by the tranquil river. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element - from the intricate shroud draped over one girl's shoulder to the musician playing an instrument nearby. Hacker's illustration skillfully evokes emotions through his use of light and shadow in this beautifully composed piece. The Victorian era setting adds an air of nostalgia and romanticism to the scene. It transports viewers into a different time and place, inviting them to ponder upon themes such as life, death, and human connection. Originally featured in "The Graphic" an illustrated weekly newspaper volume from July to December 1888, this artwork has stood the test of time as it continues to captivate audiences today. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Arthur Hacker, we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to conveying profound emotions and timeless stories.
