1883 Drawn Joshua Like Ships Upon The Sea Sketch Sydney Hall Accents Contempt Exclaimed Higgins Water Colour
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving titled "Like Ships Upon the Sea" we are transported to the grandeur of Rome. The print, drawn by Sydney Hall from a water-colour sketch by C. H. Poingdestre in 1883, beautifully captures the essence of this historic city. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details and illustrative technique used by Hall. The Victorian-era style adds a touch of nostalgia and charm to the scene, making it feel like a vintage treasure unearthed from another time. The bustling cityscape is depicted with precision and skill, showcasing Rome's architectural wonders and vibrant atmosphere. The artist masterfully portrays ships sailing along what appears to be an imaginary sea within the city itself - a metaphorical representation of how Rome has always been a hub for trade, culture, and exploration. However, not everyone shares this admiration for Rome. Mr. Joshua Higgins can be heard expressing his bitter contempt for the city in accents filled with disdain. His words add an intriguing layer of contrast to an otherwise idyllic portrayal. This enchanting engraving from Liszt Collection takes us on a journey back in time when artistry flourished alongside historical events. It serves as both a testament to artistic talent and as a window into 19th-century culture and history – reminding us that even centuries later, these images continue to captivate our imagination.
