EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Big Clock Tower Evreux" takes us on a visual journey back to 19th-century Normandy. Captured by Richard Parkes Bonington in 1824, this print is part of the renowned collection Voyages Pittoresques et Romantiques dans l Ancienne France. The focal point of the image is the majestic Tour du Gros Horloge, also known as the Big Clock Tower. Standing tall and proud, it was built under English rule in 1417 during the tumultuous period of England's occupation of Normandy amidst the Hundred Years' War. This fortified bell tower served as both a symbol of power and a practical timekeeping mechanism for the inhabitants. As we explore further into this illustration, we are transported to a bustling medieval town filled with charming houses lining its streets. The architecture reflects the rich history and influence of Norman culture that permeates every corner. Within this snapshot of daily life in northern France, men and women go about their business, adding depth and authenticity to Bonington's depiction. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through art. This lithograph not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a historical document showcasing how different cultures shaped regions over time. With its intricate details and vivid portrayal, "Big Clock Tower Evreux" invites us to immerse ourselves in centuries past while appreciating Bonington's artistic prowess.
