Autumn 1860-1862. Creator: Frederick Augustus Sandys
Autumn 1860-1862. An ageing soldier is depicted reclining on a river bank watched attentively by a woman and a child. The three figures appear to symbolise the three stages of life whilst the title, the setting sun and the ruin in the background focus on the last stage of old age and death. The painting is set in Norwich, where Sandys grew up, and the bridge is said to be Bishops Bridge

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Autumn 1860-1862" by Frederick Augustus Sandys, we are transported to a serene river bank in Norwich. The painting depicts an ageing soldier reclining on the river bank, accompanied by a woman and a child who watch him attentively. Symbolizing the three stages of life, these figures evoke contemplation on the passage of time. The title itself, along with the setting sun and the ruin in the background, draws our attention to the theme of old age and mortality. As we gaze upon this scene, we cannot help but reflect on the inevitable journey towards death that awaits us all. Sandys' choice to set this poignant artwork in his hometown adds another layer of significance. The bridge depicted is believed to be Bishops Bridge, further connecting us to both geographical and historical context. With meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color, Sandys brings this moment frozen in time back to life. The rich hues capture nature's beauty as bullrushes sway gently nearby while great reedmace plants add texture and depth. As viewers immerse themselves in this pre-Raphaelite masterpiece at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery or any other art center fortunate enough to house it within their collection, they are reminded not only of Sandys' artistic brilliance but also of their own fleeting existence within the grand tapestry of human history.
