EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Landscape (w/c on wove paper)" by Francis Oliver Finch transports viewers to a serene and idyllic scene reminiscent of ancient classical Italy. Measuring 40.5x28.2 cm, the artwork showcases golden light illuminating a picturesque blue sea, while in the distance, a classical building majestically rests atop a hill. The artist's intention was not to depict an actual place but rather to create an idealized landscape that evokes feelings of tranquility and nostalgia. Finch specialized in these types of idyllic landscapes throughout his career, focusing on capturing the essence of beauty rather than realistic representations. Despite never having visited Italy himself, Finch skillfully brings forth the spirit and charm associated with this iconic Mediterranean country. The painting exudes a sense of timelessness as it pays homage to the classical traditions prevalent during the first half of the 19th century. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this artwork is part of eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collection. It serves as a testament to Finch's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into dreamlike landscapes filled with serenity and wonder. With its lush trees lining a path or road leading towards distant horizons, this painting captures both nature's grandeur and man-made architectural marvels harmoniously coexisting within an enchanting Italian setting.
