EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1878 print by Lockwood de Forest, titled "Corinth," transports us back to the 19th century and the burgeoning Aesthetic Movement in America. The image, a meticulous depiction of a serene landscape in Corinth, Greece, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the ancient world. With its rich, vibrant colors and intricate details, this oil on card painting invites us to explore the cultural heritage of Greece, as depicted through the lens of a master artist. Lockwood de Forest, a prominent figure in American art during the late 19th century, was known for his evocative drawings and paintings of historic sites and scenes from around the world. In this particular work, he masterfully conveys the grandeur of the Corinthian columns, their classical lines and elegant curves a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Greek culture. The peaceful scene, with its idyllic temple nestled among the rolling hills and verdant foliage, speaks to the spiritual and artistic sensibilities of the time. Originally exhibited in the United States, this print is now part of the esteemed collections at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. A true treasure of American art history, "Corinth" by Lockwood de Forest offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of art to transport us across time and place.
