EDITORS COMMENTS
Statue on Lawn in Epsom, 1809 by George Henry Harlow This evocative black and white drawing, created by British artist George Henry Harlow in 1809, captures the tranquil beauty of a stately home in Epsom, Surrey, England. The image, now held in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Harlow's mastery of pencil, black crayon, and graphite, heightened with white chalk on pale brown wove paper, laid down on cream wove paper. The drawing transports us to a bygone era, with its meticulous attention to detail and nuanced shading. At the center, a grand statue stands proudly on the lush, green lawn, its serene features gazing out over the picturesque garden. The stately home, with its tall, elegant columns and ornate windows, looms in the background, framing the scene and adding a sense of grandeur. The drawing is a stunning example of the Romantic era's fascination with the picturesque and the past. The use of black and white enhances the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth and texture to the scene. The artist's skillful use of pencil, crayon, and graphite creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the viewer feel as if they are standing right there in the garden, taking in the beauty of the scene. The location of Epsom, a popular spa town in Surrey, adds to the drawing's allure. The area was known for its natural springs and health-giving waters, making it a popular destination for the wealthy and well-to-do. This drawing offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy English aristocracy of the time, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past. Overall, this drawing by George Henry Harlow is a masterpiece of 19th-century art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, landscape painting, or the Romantic era.
