EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Merton College, Oxford in 1771, beautifully captured on canvas by the talented artist Michael (Angelo) Rooker. The painting measures 70.5x90.5 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The image transports us back to a time when this iconic university stood tall with its magnificent architecture. Merton College's grandeur is perfectly depicted, showcasing its intricate details and timeless beauty. Intriguingly, amidst the architectural splendor, we catch a glimpse of everyday life during that era. A group of individuals can be seen engaged in carpet beating nearby, adding a touch of realism to this otherwise idyllic scene. Further enhancing the historical context are two elegant coaches pulled by majestic horses passing through the college grounds. These carriages provide insight into transportation methods from that period and evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it serves as a reminder not only of Merton College's enduring legacy but also of how art has preserved moments from our past. This particular piece holds immense cultural significance and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical storytelling.
