EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Durham House to Barnards Castle" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the 16th century. Created by Anthonis van den Wyngaerde, a Netherlandish artist, this pen and ink drawing offers a unique aerial view of the city. The focal point of the image is Durham House, once the town house of the Bishop of Durham. This grand residence holds historical significance as it was also inhabited by Cardinal Wolsey during his influential years. The intricate details captured by Wyngaerde showcase its impressive architecture, complete with turrets and towers that stand proudly along the river embankment. As our eyes wander across this panoramic scene, we are treated to glimpses of other notable landmarks such as Ely House and various churches scattered throughout London's skyline. The sketch-like quality adds an air of authenticity to this piece, transporting us back to a time when these structures were still under construction or stood in their original glory. With the River Thames flowing gracefully through the heart of London, we get a sense of how vital it was for trade and transportation even centuries ago. This artwork serves as both a visual feast for architectural enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only van den Wyngaerde's artistic talent but also provides invaluable insight into London's rich past.
