Beverley minster, Yorkshire c. 19th century

Editor: This sepia-toned print captures Beverley Minster in Yorkshire, by Frederick Christian Lewis. It feels so grand, almost intimidating in its scale. What strikes you most about this piece? Curator: Well, the sheer act of capturing such detail is impressive. The delicate etching mirrors the Minster's own aspiration, reaching towards heaven. I see light and shadow dancing across the stone, almost breathing life into it. Editor: Breathing life... I like that. It’s more than just a building then? Curator: Indeed! Consider the figures in the foreground. Tiny aren't they? But they’re essential; they remind us of our place in the world. What do you think? Editor: I see what you mean! It puts everything into perspective. I’ll never look at architectural prints the same way again. Curator: Isn't that the joy of art? Shifting perspectives, one artwork at a time.
