EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Carey Castle in Pembroke Shire, Wales. Taken from Paul Sandby's collection of Twelve Views in Aquatinta, this 18th-century artwork transports us back to a bygone era of romanticism and British heritage. The etching and aquatint technique used on ivory laid paper adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical charm. The castle stands proudly against a picturesque hillside backdrop, symbolizing the fortitude of centuries past. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the rich history that permeates every stone of this Grade I listed building. Its imposing presence evokes thoughts of medieval times when fortifications like Carey Castle were essential for protection and defense. Intriguingly, amidst the tranquil countryside setting, there are faint figures in the background - perhaps locals going about their daily rural lives. This subtle inclusion adds an element of regionalism to the artwork, connecting it with both people and place. Paul Sandby's meticulous attention to detail captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a window into South Wales' cultural landscape during the 13th century. Displayed at Chicago's Art Institute gallery, this remarkable piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its historical significance while appreciating Sandby's skillful craftsmanship.
