EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Cilurnum, or Chesters" takes us back in time to the ancient Roman era. The artwork, created by Henry Burdon Richardson, beautifully captures the essence of this historical site through a combination of gouache, pencil, and watercolor on paper. Cilurnum was a significant fort located on Hadrian's Wall, mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum. Today, it is identified as the fort found at Chesters near Walwick village in Northumberland, England. Constructed shortly after the completion of Hadrian's Wall in 123 AD, Cilurnum holds great archaeological importance. This landscape photograph showcases the remains and excavations at Chesters with its stone walls and ruins still standing proudly against time. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonder as we witness these ancient structures that once housed Roman soldiers. The romantic allure of this ruinous scene is evident from the rubble-strewn ground to the weathered stones that tell tales of battles fought long ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back centuries to an era where legions marched along Hadrian's Wall and Cilurnum stood strong against any threat.
