EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Edinburgh in the late 18th century. No. 1187 The Castle Rock, Edinburgh, c. 1793 captures the essence of this historic Scottish landmark with remarkable detail and precision. Painted by Thomas Girtin, a renowned English artist of his time, this watercolor masterpiece measures 16.8x21.8 cm and is now housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The composition showcases Edinburgh's iconic Castle Rock as its centerpiece, towering majestically over the landscape below. The rugged cliffs create a dramatic backdrop against which we can almost envision ancient tales unfolding. From this vantage point on The Mound, one can appreciate both Princes Street Gardens and Royal Mile stretching out before them - two bustling thoroughfares that have witnessed centuries of history unfold. Girtin's skillful use of watercolors brings life to every brushstroke, capturing not just the physical features but also evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this painting-turned-photo print today, we are reminded that art has an incredible power to transport us through time and space – allowing us to experience moments long past from our own present-day perspective.
