EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the "Great Bookcase" created by William Burges in 1859-62. Standing tall at an impressive size of 317.5x173.9x49.5 cm, this magnificent piece is housed in the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK. Constructed from pine and adorned with intricate carvings, vibrant paintwork, and delicate gilding, this bookcase is a true testament to Burges' artistic genius. What makes it even more remarkable is that it was painted by fourteen young artists under his guidance between 1859 and 1863. The photograph captures every detail of this Victorian-style masterpiece - from its rich colors to its meticulously crafted wood material. The bookcase stands proudly as a symbol of elegance and sophistication within any space it graces. With no people present in the photo, our attention is solely drawn towards the sheer beauty and grandeur of this furniture piece. It serves as a reminder of how artistry can transcend time and continue to captivate viewers even centuries later. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to the late nineteenth century when such pieces were highly coveted for their opulence and charm. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the historical significance embedded within each stroke of paint on this remarkable bookcase.
