EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Celadon And Amelia Struck Lightening Dies Dying" transports us back to the enchanting world of Scottish poet James Thomson's 1776 masterpiece, The Seasons. The image depicts a poignant scene from the poem where Celadon cradles his beloved Amelia in his arms after she has tragically been struck by lightning. The vintage engraving, skillfully created by Francesco Bartolozzi and based on William Hamilton's painting, captures the raw emotion and heart-wrenching despair of this pivotal moment. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the power that poetry holds in evoking deep emotions and connecting us to stories from centuries past. Ken Welsh's archival photograph not only serves as a visual representation of Thomson's poetic genius but also provides us with a glimpse into 18th-century history. It invites us to reflect on the fragility of life and the unpredictable forces that can shape our destinies. As we admire this period picture, let it serve as a reminder that art has an enduring ability to transcend time and transport us into different eras. This illustration is not just an old engraving; it is a window into Scotland's literary heritage and an invitation for us to explore its rich tapestry through both words and images.
