La Grosse Horloge, Rouen - A Timeless Beauty Captured in Print
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print transports us back to the c19th century, capturing the architectural marvel that is La Grosse Horloge in Rouen, Normandy. The artist behind this etching is none other than William Renison, whose attention to detail brings out the intricate beauty of this fourteenth-century astronomical clock. The image showcases a bustling city street with people going about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen walking along the road, while horses pull carts laden with goods. Flags flutter in the breeze, adding a touch of vibrancy to the scene. The clock tower itself stands tall and proud, its facade displaying exquisite craftsmanship from centuries past. Its presence dominates the avenue as if time itself has come alive within its walls. This monochrome snapshot captures not just a moment frozen in time but also reflects an era where transportation was still reliant on horse-drawn carts. It offers us a glimpse into life during the 1920s when this print was published by The Studio Volume 89. As we admire this piece of artistry by William Renison, we are reminded of how architecture can transcend time and transport us to different periods in history. La Grosse Horloge continues to stand as a symbol of Rouen's rich heritage and serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries gone by.
