An 18th century Neoclassical monochrome copperplate engraving on off-white paper with black ink, depicting the winged Greek wind deity Boreas flying horizontally against a stone architectural backdrop. The image shows the bearded figure holding a conch shell to his mouth, drapery billowing beneath him, and the Greek inscription "BOPEAΣ" above in a relief frieze. Foxing marks speckle the margins of the paper sheet, which is presented within a dark mount. The complete piece measures 20 cm high, 37 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Placement suits a traditional gentleman's library or study, positioned above a sideboard or desk to complement classical collections and historical art displays.

FAQs

Published in the 18th century by James Stuart and Nicholas Revett, these detailed architectural prints documented ancient Greek monuments and played a pivotal role in establishing the Neoclassical movement across Europe.

These prints were created using copperplate engraving techniques, where intricate line designs were incised into a metal plate, inked, and impressed onto heavy hand-made rag paper.

Authentic period prints feature a distinct plate mark indentation around the image border, visible chain lines within laid paper, and characteristic plate wear consistent with age.

Frame the monochrome print in a clean dark wood or gilded frame with a wide mount, hanging it singly in a study or as part of a gallery wall in a hallway or library.

Keep the print away from direct sunlight and humid environments, framing it using UV-protective glass and acid-free, conservation-grade mounting materials to prevent discolouration.
