1891 Orientation Rising Stonehenge Summer Solstice

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of Stonehenge at the Summer Solstice, with the sun rising over the iconic "Friars Heel". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully depicts the orientation of Stonehenge during this significant celestial event. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back to a time when ancient civilizations revered and celebrated nature's cycles. The Summer Solstice holds great importance as it marks the longest day of the year and symbolizes abundance, growth, and vitality. The composition skillfully showcases Stonehenge's majestic stone formations against a backdrop of vibrant colors that heralds the arrival of midsummer day. The rays of sunlight gracefully illuminate each stone pillar, casting long shadows that seem to dance across its sacred grounds. The focal point is undoubtedly on "Friars Heel" a prominent feature within Stonehenge's landscape. Its silhouette stands tall against the horizon as if reaching out to embrace both past and present observers alike. This enchanting artwork was originally created for publication in The Leisure Hour in 1892, adding historical significance to its already rich narrative. Preserved within a private collection until now, this print allows us to marvel at both human ingenuity and our enduring connection with nature throughout history. With every glance at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our place in an ever-changing world while honoring those who came before us.
