EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Over The Hills and Far Away" takes us on a journey through the stunning autumnal landscape of 1878. Painted by Jervis McEntee, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 61x106.7 cm and is housed in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. Underneath a cloudy, restless daylight sky, majestic mountains emerge in the background, creating a sense of awe and wonder. Birch trees stand tall to the right, their golden leaves gently swaying in the breeze. On the left, a low slope leads our gaze towards a lightly traveled path that cuts through this idyllic scene. As we delve deeper into this painting's intricate details, small figures come into focus at its center. They appear to be traversing along the path, adding an element of human presence amidst nature's grandeur. McEntee skillfully combines bucolic sentiment with foreground detailed realism to create an immersive experience for viewers. Every brushstroke captures not only the beauty but also conveys a deep appreciation for nature's inherent components. The serene atmosphere exudes calmness as if time stands still within this tranquil setting. The stone wall and rocks add texture while enhancing our connection to earth's natural elements. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, McEntee invites us to contemplate meteorology and weather patterns that shape these landscapes over time. This painting serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to science's influence on art. B
