EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, entitled "Entrance to the Avenue from Clare Hall Piece, Cambridge," was created by the renowned British artist William Westall around 1830. The image transports us to the picturesque university town of Cambridge in England, specifically to the entrance of Clare Hall Piece. Westall masterfully captures the essence of the scene with his combination of graphite, watercolour, and touches of gouache on cream wove paper. The composition is dominated by the grand entranceway, framed by two tall trees and flanked by an avenue of trees leading to the distance. The lush green lawn stretches out before us, dotted with children at play and adults strolling along the path. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and the beauty of nature, as well as the rich heritage of Cambridge University. Westall's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he depicts the various textures, from the rough bark of the trees to the intricate patterns of the clothing worn by the figures. The use of colour adds depth and dimension to the image, with the vibrant greens of the trees and grass contrasting against the muted tones of the buildings and clothing. The print invites us to imagine the bustling activity of the university town, with students and scholars going about their daily routines, children playing in the sun, and the gentle flow of life continuing along the Avenue from Clare Hall Piece. Westall's "Entrance to the Avenue from Clare Hall Piece, Cambridge" is a stunning example of 19th century British art, and a testament to the enduring allure of Cambridge and its storied history.
