EDITORS COMMENTS
View By Moonlight, Near Fayetteville" is a captivating aquatint print by John Hill, created between 1819 and 1821, and is the third plate of the second number of "Picturesque Views of American Scenery." This stunning work of art transports us to the heart of the American countryside, specifically near Fayetteville, North Carolina, in the United States of America. The scene is set under the full moon, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the landscape. The foreground is dominated by a campfire, surrounded by a group of people, likely travelers or settlers, gathered around it for warmth and companionship. The branches of trees in the background are silhouetted against the luminous sky, their leaves shimmering with the reflected light. The artist, John Hill, expertly captures the essence of the night, with the moon and stars providing a breathtaking backdrop to the tranquil scene. The use of aquatint with etching and hand colouring on cream wove paper adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. This print is a testament to the natural beauty of the American landscape, as well as the simple pleasures of communal life. The inclusion of a tent and tents in the background suggests a sense of adventure and exploration, while the presence of the campfire and the people gathered around it speaks to the human need for connection and community. The print also serves as a reminder of the scientific curiosity of the time, with the moon and the solar system depicted in the night sky. This fusion of art and science, along with the rich heritage and history that the print represents, makes it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
