EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Old Master" we are transported back to the Victorian era, specifically to the year 1883. The artist behind this remarkable piece is James Hayllar, who skillfully captured a poignant scene in oil on canvas measuring 111.8 x 160. Within the confines of an elegant parlour, we find ourselves amidst a somber gathering of family and friends. An ornate armchair dominates the foreground, its rich upholstery hinting at opulence and tradition. A sense of mourning permeates the room as evidenced by a coffin draped with flowers, serving as a painful reminder of loss. A widow stands near the coffin, her sorrow etched deeply upon her face. Figures surrounding her offer solace and support during this difficult time. A birdcage symbolically hangs nearby, perhaps representing both freedom lost and hope for brighter days ahead. A cross prominently displayed on one wall serves as a spiritual anchor amidst grief-stricken hearts. This painting exudes an air of melancholy yet also pays homage to cherished memories through its portrayal of loved ones gathered together. "The Old Master" invites us to reflect upon life's transience while reminding us that art has the power to immortalize moments in time forevermore. Nottingham City Photos have expertly reproduced this masterpiece so that viewers can appreciate Hayllar's talent and delve into the emotional depth conveyed within his brushstrokes - all without any commercial use intended
