EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lichfield Cathedral - The Sleeping Children" takes us back in time to the early 19th century. Created by Francis Legatt Chantrey, a renowned English sculptor of his era, this engraving showcases his exceptional talent for capturing emotion and tenderness. The scene depicted is both poignant and serene. Two children are peacefully asleep in each other's arms, their innocent faces illuminated by the soft light filtering through the cathedral's stained glass windows. The artist has chosen to inscribe the word "REPOSE" on the side, emphasizing the tranquility and harmony exuded by these slumbering figures. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line etched with precision tells a story. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that sacred space where dreams intertwine with reality. Displayed at The William Salt Library in Staffordshire, UK, this artwork stands as a testament to Chantrey's mastery of his craft. It forms part of a series of engravings published in May 1823 under the patronage of S. W. Reynolds Bayswater. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder provided by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance—a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved within these delicate lines and shades.
