EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Christ Church from St Aldates, 1787" transports us back to the picturesque streets of Oxford in the late 18th century. Created by John Baptist Malchair, a renowned English artist, this artwork captures the essence of an early morning scene. As the rising sun casts its golden rays upon the city, we are greeted with a hazy yet enchanting atmosphere. The spires and towers of Christ Church College dominate the skyline, their silhouettes beautifully outlined against the soft hues of dawn. The tranquil streets come alive as a horse-drawn cart makes its way through town, adding a touch of movement to this otherwise serene setting. Malchair's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he skillfully portrays the play of light and shadow on each building facade. This watercolour over graphite piece exudes an air of tranquility and nostalgia that takes us on a journey through time. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this artwork serves as a testament to both Malchair's talent and his love for capturing urban landscapes. It offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in England's rich history while admiring one of its most iconic university towns. With its atmospheric charm and ethereal beauty, "Christ Church from St Aldates" remains an enduring symbol not only of British art but also of Oxford's timeless allure.
