Edinburgh 1924

"Edinburgh" is a 1924 painting by Scottish artist George Henry (1858-1943). The painting depicts a sweeping view of Edinburgh, Scotland, with the iconic Edinburgh Castle prominently displayed in the distance. The cityscape is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style with bold colors, particularly the bright blue of the sky and the green of the hills and parks. The cityscape is seen from a lower vantage point, emphasizing the verticality of the buildings and the imposing presence of the castle. This painting is a quintessential example of Henry's style, showcasing his ability to capture the beauty of his native city through a distinctive and evocative approach.
