Old Magdalen Hall from the Gravel Walk Burnt Down A.D. 1815/16
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing with selective watercolor by the acclaimed British artist Frederick Mackenzie. This 18th-century artwork portrays the Old Magdalen Hall in Oxford, England, which was unfortunately destroyed by fire in the years 1815 or 1816. The drawing offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of Oxford University and Hertford College. Mackenzie masterfully captures the essence of the Old Magdalen Hall's architectural grandeur in this intricately detailed pen and ink drawing. The ivory wove paper on which the image is laid down adds a soft, creamy background to the bold lines and contrasting brown ink. The use of watercolor adds depth and texture to the building's facade, bringing out the intricacies of the stonework and the ornate details of the windows and doors. The drawing depicts the Old Magdalen Hall from the Gravel Walk, with three figures – two men and one woman – standing in front of the building. The men appear to be deep in conversation, while the woman looks on with a thoughtful expression. The inclusion of people in the scene adds a sense of scale and humanizes the grand structure, making it more relatable to the viewer. The Old Magdalen Hall was a significant part of Oxford University's architectural history, and its loss was deeply felt by the community. Mackenzie's drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the building's former glory and the passage of time. Today, the artwork is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of British art and architecture.
