"Ruinous: Exploring the Eerie Beauty of Abandoned Landscapes and Historical Treasures" Step into a world frozen in time, where ruins whisper tales of forgotten glory. From Gin Lane's haunting engravings to The Temptation of Saint Anthony's captivating oil on canvas, each artwork unveils the allure of decay. In the deserted village of Slievemore, Achill Island, County Mayo, Connacht province in Ireland, nature reclaims its territory as crumbling cottages stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Nearby Burrishoole Abbey near Newport echoes with whispers from centuries past; its weathered stones tell stories that only history can reveal. Cockermouth Castle in Cumberland emerges from an engraving like a ghostly apparition. Once a symbol of power and grandeur, it now stands as a testament to the passage of time. Meanwhile, The Colosseum comes alive through an artist's sketch on canvas - capturing both its majestic architecture and the artist's awe-inspiring talent. The big horse engraving transports us back to 1564 when this magnificent creature roamed freely across vast landscapes. Diana and Her Nymphs' oil painting takes us even further back in time with its ethereal depiction of ancient mythology. Waldeck's collection offers glimpses into Mesoamerica's rich heritage through intricate prints that showcase their vibrant culture. St Agatha's Abbey in Richmond enchants with delicate watercolors and ink strokes that bring life to this Yorkshire gem dating back to 1797. Returning once again to The Temptation of Saint Anthony but this time on wood - we witness his struggle against temptation amidst surreal surroundings. And finally, Tray made from soft paste porcelain transports us to 1772 when elegance met functionality in everyday objects. These ruinous hints remind us that beauty can be found even within destruction – inviting contemplation about our own impermanence and the stories that lie hidden within forgotten places.
