Frederic Edwin Church — The Parthenon | Fine Art PrintFrederic Edwin Church — The Parthenon

Collection · 28 prints

Ruins

Broken temples, fallen castles, cities after the end

Ruins in art: paintings, mezzotints and woodblock prints of ruined temples, castles, abbeys and ancient cities. Artists include Claude Lorrain, with views of the Roman Forum, J.M.W. Turner, with Liber Studiorum mezzotints of abbeys and castles, Canaletto (Arch of Constantine with the Colosseum), John Constable (Hadleigh Castle), Frederic Edwin Church (The Parthenon), William Stanley Haseltine, Arnold Böcklin, Elihu Vedder, Hiroshi Yoshida, with his Athens and Sphinx prints of 1925, and Karl Wiener. The works range from 17th-century classical landscapes to Romantic and Symbolist painting and 20th-century prints. Typical subjects are Rome, Athens, Sicily, Egypt and British castles and abbeys.

The selection shows ruins as subjects of reflection, painted by artists from Claude to Yoshida as reminders of past civilisations.

The warm stone and sky palettes suit studies, libraries and living rooms; the wide classical landscapes work above a sofa or mantel. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
