The Tranquility of Home captures the fondness Victor holds for his Genevan childhood. Throughout the novel, this nostalgia soothes and grounds him in moments of strife. The pastoral idyll of the rolling hills contrasts with the sublime beauty of the mountains, creating a dynamic of simplicity and splendor. A small cabin hangs precariously to the hillside, symbolizing the fragile yet enduring nature of human life. As the natural world did for the Romantics, Anne’s landscape reminds us of the splendor of the world we occupy, and the smallness of our place within it.
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
