EDITORS COMMENTS
Edinburgh from Braid Hills" is a stunning watercolour drawing created by the renowned Irish artist James Moore in the year 1842. This exquisite piece captures the breathtaking view of Edinburgh as seen from Braid Hills, a scenic spot located to the south of the city. The image showcases the city's iconic skyline, with its distinctive buildings and towering structures, bathed in the soft, ethereal light of a tranquil day. Moore's masterful use of colour and shading brings the landscape to life, with the vibrant greens of the hills and the rich tones of the city's rooftops creating a sense of depth and texture. The intricate details of the buildings, from the grand Edinburgh Castle to the winding streets and narrow tenements, are rendered with remarkable precision and accuracy. The drawing is executed on paper and measures an impressive 19.5 x 28.5 cm. The delicate, fluid lines and the subtle variations in tone and hue are characteristic of Moore's distinctive style, which was influenced by his training in the Royal Academy in London. This work of art offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the mid-19th century when Edinburgh was a thriving cultural and intellectual hub. It is a testament to Moore's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its beauty in a single, timeless image. James Moore was a prolific artist who produced a vast body of work during his career, including landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes. His works are held in various public collections, including the National Gallery of Ireland and the Royal Scottish Academy. "Edinburgh from Braid Hills" is a rare and valuable addition to this impressive oeuvre, and a must-have for any collector of Scottish art or those with a passion for the history and beauty of Edinburgh.
