EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by George Pyne, titled "Eton from the Playing-Fields," transports us back to the 19th century and the picturesque English town of Eton, Berkshire. The scene unfolds from the perspective of the playing fields, with the iconic red-brick buildings of Eton College rising majestically in the background. The young men in the foreground, dressed in their school uniforms, engage in various activities, adding a sense of vitality and energy to the composition. Pyne expertly captures the essence of this prestigious British boarding school, with its rich heritage and tradition. The meticulously detailed brickwork, the lush greenery, and the vibrant colors of the uniforms all come together to create a striking and evocative image. The use of watercolor heightened with touches of white gouache over graphite on cream wove paper adds depth and texture to the scene, further enhancing its visual appeal. The print invites us to imagine the daily life of the young students at Eton College, as they go about their studies and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of their alma mater. It is a testament to the enduring allure of this renowned institution, which has been shaping the minds and futures of young men for centuries. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of education, British heritage, or the art of George Pyne. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
