EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by Richard Tongue takes us back to the ancient landscape of Pentre Ifan in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The Megalithic Tomb at Pentre Ifan, dating back to the 35th century BC, stands as a testament to the prehistoric architectural genius of our ancestors. The painting beautifully captures the imposing structure of this Neolithic tomb, with its massive stone slabs forming an awe-inspiring burial chamber. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, it evokes a sense of mystery and reverence for those who once inhabited this land. Tongue's meticulous attention to detail brings out the intricate carvings on the capstone and highlights the play of light and shadow on these weathered stones. The artist's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to every brushstroke, breathing life into this historic monument. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported through time, contemplating not only death but also humanity's enduring fascination with mortality. This megalithic tomb serves as a tangible link between past and present, reminding us that even in death we leave behind lasting legacies. Through Jacquetta Hawkes' publication "Early Britain". Tongue's masterpiece continues to captivate audiences today. It is a visual representation that allows us to connect with our ancient roots while appreciating the artistic skill that went into preserving their memory for generations to come.
