EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Gryphon bearing the north Shaft of the west Entrance of the Duomo, Verona" a remarkable architectural detail captured by renowned artist John Ruskin in June 1869. The artwork, created using watercolor and bodycolour over graphite on wove paper, measures 22.1 x 35.9 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum. Ruskin's meticulous study highlights the intricate craftsmanship of this mythological creature known as a gryphon or griffin. Positioned at one of Verona's most prominent landmarks, the Duomo, this statue stands tall with majestic wings spread wide. Its fierce gaze and powerful stance evoke a sense of awe and wonder. As we delve into this nineteenth-century masterpiece, we are transported to an era where attention to architectural detail was paramount. Ruskin's expertise shines through as he captures every nuance and texture with delicate brushstrokes. Verona itself adds another layer of enchantment to this composition. Known for its rich history and romantic charm, it serves as a fitting backdrop for such an extraordinary piece of artistry. This print allows us to appreciate not only Ruskin's talent but also the enduring beauty found within Italy's cultural heritage. It reminds us that even in stillness, art has the power to transport us across time and immerse us in worlds both real and mythical
