EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Old Oak Chest housed in the Orphan Asylum of Hooks Mills. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, with a close-up view of one particular panel that depicts the iconic Colossus of Rhodes. Created by Joseph Manning in 1828 using pencil and watercolor on paper, this artwork now resides in the prestigious Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The chest itself exudes a sense of history and mystery, as it stands as a testament to both craftsmanship and philanthropy. Its carved panels tell stories from ancient Greece, with this specific panel capturing the grandeur of the Colossus of Rhodes - one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The intricate carving work brings life to this classical masterpiece, showcasing Manning's skillful technique. Originally intended for use within an orphanage setting, this old oak chest served not only as functional furniture but also as a source of inspiration for young minds. It symbolizes hope amidst adversity, reminding us that even in challenging circumstances beauty can be found. Thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908, this extraordinary piece has been preserved for generations to appreciate its historical significance. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are able to admire and reflect upon this timeless treasure captured through Mzpainting's lens.
