EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "View from Merton College, 28 February 1791" transports us back to a wintry day in rural England over two centuries ago. Created by the talented artist John Baptist Malchair, this artwork measures 20.2x32.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The scene depicted in this exquisite piece showcases a breathtaking landscape surrounding Merton College. The artist's skilled hand brings to life the barren trees and rolling countryside blanketed with snow, evoking a serene and tranquil ambiance. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the crisp winter air on our skin. The significance of this particular view lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. The inscription accompanying the print reveals that it was captured from Mr Nares' room at Merton College on February 28th, 1791 – offering us a glimpse into an ordinary day during that era. As admirers of Western art and lovers of nature's splendor, we are drawn to this drawing for its ability to transport us through time and space. It serves as a reminder of both the enduring beauty found within British landscapes and the skillful craftsmanship of artists like Malchair who sought to capture these scenes for generations to come.
