EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by William Lee Hankey transports us to a mysterious and enchanting forest. The image depicts a scene of desolation, where the once vibrant woods have fallen silent, devoid of the melodious songs of birds. Instead, clusters of silent bats cling to branches in their drowsy slumber. Hankey's masterful use of color and composition evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude within this deserted village. The artist skillfully captures the essence of nature's quietude, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the stillness and serenity that permeates every inch of this artwork. The intricate details present in each stroke showcase Hankey's exceptional talent as both a painter and an artist. His ability to convey emotion through his brushwork is evident in every element depicted - from the delicate foliage adorning the trees to the meticulously rendered costumes worn by villagers. Through this piece, Hankey pays homage to Oliver Goldsmith's poem "The Deserted Village" which serves as inspiration for this hauntingly beautiful portrayal. It serves as a reminder that even amidst abandonment and silence, there is an undeniable allure found within these forgotten corners of our world. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported into a realm where time stands still, allowing us to appreciate the beauty hidden within those matted woods where birds forgot to sing but silent bats find solace in their drowsy clusters.
