1819 Bedroom Coniston Critic Leaded Places Ruskin Turret Windows
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting Turret Room of John Ruskin's home in Coniston, Cumbria, in the Lake District. Ruskin, a renowned English art critic and writer, found inspiration in the natural beauty of this region from 1871 until his death in 1900. The Turret Room, which served as his bedroom, offers a breathtaking view of Coniston Water, the lake that became a muse for his works. The ivy-covered turret, with its leaded windows, adds an air of tranquility and timelessness to the scene. Ruskin's connection to Coniston began when he was a young man, and he returned to the area later in life to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. The serene surroundings of the Lake District provided him with the peace and solitude he needed to write and reflect. The trees surrounding his home, which are visible in the photograph, would have offered a picturesque backdrop for his daily walks and contemplative moments. The history of Ruskin's Coniston home is deeply intertwined with the natural beauty of the Lake District. The Turret Room, with its unique architectural features and stunning lake view, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of this place that inspired one of England's greatest minds. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the creative process that unfolded within these walls and the profound impact Ruskin's works continue to have on art and culture today.
