EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Thomas Shotter Boys, titled "Hospice des Viellards, Gand" we are transported back to 1839 in the charming city of Ghent. The British artist's keen eye for detail and mastery of color lithography is evident in every brushstroke captured on this delicate wove paper. The image depicts the Hospice des Viellards, a place where elderly individuals found solace and care during their twilight years. Boys skillfully portrays the architectural beauty of the hospice, with its ornate facade adorned with intricate carvings and grand arched windows. The warm hues chosen by Boys bring life to the scene, as sunlight gently bathes the building's exterior. As we gaze at this print, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling through the cobbled streets of Gand (Ghent), immersing ourselves in its rich history and vibrant culture. It serves as a testament to Boys' ability to transport us through time and space with his artistry. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate Boys' talent centuries later. This print not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own journey through life – reminding us that even amidst old age, there is still beauty and warmth waiting to be discovered.
