Large Stonehenge
By David Charles Read 1830 This is a beautifully atmospheric picture that shows off the skills of the artist very well. The sketchy effects of etching have been cleverly used to control the light in the image. The darkness increases the impressive size and presence of the stones, whilst enough moonlight is allowed through the clouds to reveal the people. Perhaps they are lovers, perhaps they are travellers. Either way, the picture has the feeling of an episode from a romantic novel.
