EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the realm of imagination with this oil on canvas masterpiece by Briton Riviere. Titled "An Old World Wanderer" this enchanting painting takes us back to the year 1887, where a mythical scene unfolds in a picturesque coastal setting.

His presence seems almost ethereal as he stands amidst nesting seagulls and soaring birds that fill the sky above. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us into this fantastical world. The rocky beach below is meticulously rendered, while an ancient longboat rests peacefully on the shoreline.

As we contemplate this stunning piece, we find ourselves pondering what adventures await this solitary wanderer along these mystical shores. Displayed at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries within Nottingham Castle, "An Old World Wanderer" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
