EDITORS COMMENTS
Between Crogen and Llandrillo on the R. Dee," an exquisite 18th-century print by Francis Jukes, offers a captivating glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Wales along the River Dee. Published in 1793, this masterpiece is a testament to Jukes' exceptional artistic skill, showcasing his proficiency in both aquatint and etching techniques on paper. The scene unfolds along the banks of the River Dee in Denbighshire, Wales, where the serene waters meet the rugged terrain. The estuary's mouth is dotted with quaint farmhouses, their smoke rising gently against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the imposing buildings of Crogen and Llandrillo in the distance. The men, dressed in traditional English attire, are shown working along the riverbank, their figures adding a sense of scale and activity to the otherwise tranquil setting. The use of color and contrast in this print is striking, with the vibrant greens of the countryside contrasting beautifully with the dark, moody tones of the river and the buildings. The concept of the print is quintessentially British, capturing the essence of the countryside and the daily life of the people who inhabited it during the eighteenth century. This aquatint and etching on paper is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The print invites us to imagine the lives of the people who lived and worked along the River Dee, and to appreciate the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside as it was depicted during the 18th century. Francis Jukes' "Between Crogen and Llandrillo on the R. Dee" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the British Isles, or the picturesque landscapes of the 18th century. This print is a treasure in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
