EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "No News" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken around 1833 by the talented artist Thomas Sword Good, this print showcases an elderly man seated in a British museum, surrounded by art and literature. Dressed in a distinguished suit, the man exudes wisdom and tranquility as he rests comfortably on a green chair. The composition of the image is strikingly peaceful, with soft lighting casting gentle shadows across the room. The grey tones add depth to the scene while emphasizing the timeless nature of this moment captured over a century ago. With his eyes closed and hands resting on top of an open book, it seems as though this gentleman has found solace within these walls. The tablecloth neatly draped over his lap and napkin placed nearby suggest that he may have taken a break from his reading to enjoy some refreshments. Displayed at Tate London today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its ability to transport them back to another era. It serves as a reminder of how art can provide respite from our busy lives—a sanctuary where one can find peace amidst chaos. "No News" is not just an ordinary portrait; it is an invitation for contemplation—an opportunity for us all to pause, close our eyes like the subject depicted here, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of art's embrace.
