Darkness Eerie Flock Of Sheep Glow Hills Moonlight Mysterious Nocturne Rugged Shepherdess Shepherds

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "The Lonely Tower, 1879". Samuel Palmer transports us to a hauntingly beautiful scene in the English countryside. The darkness of night envelops the landscape, creating an eerie atmosphere that is both mysterious and enchanting. Nestled amidst rugged hills and mountainous terrain stands a deserted tower, its silhouette barely visible against the moonlit sky. A soft glow emanates from within, casting an ethereal light on the surrounding area. It seems as though time has stood still in this remote corner of the world. A group of shepherds and a shepherdess are gathered nearby, their figures illuminated by the gentle moonlight. They watch over their flock of sheep with quiet diligence, their presence adding to the sense of solitude that permeates this nocturnal scene. Palmer's masterful use of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing contrast between darkness and illumination. The viewer is drawn into this enigmatic landscape, left wondering about the stories hidden within these ancient walls. "The Lonely Tower" invites us to contemplate our own connection to nature and our place within it. It reminds us that even in desolation, there is beauty to be found – if only we take a moment to pause and appreciate it. This print can be found at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection where it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
