EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Time and Oblivion" created by George Frederick Watts in 1864, we are transported to a world where time, religion, and science converge. Two men sit side by side, deep in thought under the moonlight. One man is engrossed in a book that seems to hold the secrets of the universe within its pages. The other gazes up at the night sky, contemplating the vastness of the solar system above. The artist skillfully captures a sense of watchfulness and introspection as these two individuals navigate through their own understanding of existence. Time itself is personified by an enigmatic figure holding a scythe, symbolizing both creation and destruction. Watts masterfully combines elements from literature, astronomy, and religious symbolism to create a metaphorical representation of our place in the cosmos. The heavenly bodies surrounding them serve as a reminder of our insignificance in comparison to the grandeur of the universe. As we observe this scene frozen in time from over a century ago, we are reminded that despite technological advancements and societal changes since then, humanity's quest for knowledge remains constant. This monochrome image invites us to ponder our own mortality while urging us not to succumb to oblivion but rather embrace curiosity about life's mysteries. This print from Bibbys Annual 1917 offers an intriguing glimpse into George Frederick Watts' artistic vision - one that continues to resonate with viewers even today.
