EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning frieze of a chimneypiece in an old house dating back to 1673. Created by the talented artist Thomas Leeson the Elder, this artwork beautifully captures the intricate details of this baroque masterpiece. The pencil and watercolor technique used on paper adds depth and texture to every stroke, bringing life to the carving. Located at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this remarkable piece was bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. The monogram featured on the frieze adds a personal touch, hinting at its original owner or creator. It is truly fascinating how such craftsmanship has stood the test of time, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even centuries later. The composition of this image draws attention to every aspect of the chimneypiece's design – from its elaborate carvings to its ornate patterns. The play between light and shadow further enhances each detail, making it feel almost three-dimensional. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to Broadmead in 1826 when this exquisite work adorned an old house. Its presence must have added grandeur and elegance to any room lucky enough to host it. In conclusion, Rowbotham's "Frieze of Chimneypiece" is not just a mere depiction but rather an invitation into history – a glimpse into artistry that continues to inspire awe today.
