The Burnham Beeches 1829

Editor: Here we have "The Burnham Beeches," an etching by Jacob George Strutt, housed at the Harvard Art Museums. It feels so detailed and timeless. What stands out to you in this piece? Curator: The way Strutt captures light filtering through the trees is remarkable, isn't it? There's a serenity, a certain reverence for the natural world. Makes you wonder what stories these ancient trees could tell, doesn't it? It reminds me a bit of Constable. Editor: Yes, there's definitely something deeply English and romantic about it. Thanks for sharing your insights! Curator: My pleasure! It’s always a treat to ponder the whispers of the past within these images.
