EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Companions" by Augustus Egg, a renowned English artist. Painted in 1862, this oil on canvas piece captures the essence of travel and companionship during the Victorian era. The scene takes place inside a railway compartment as two young women journey through Europe's southern regions. The painting portrays an upper-class sister and her companion, both dressed elegantly in fashionable attire of the time. One woman is depicted sleeping peacefully while the other engrosses herself in a book, creating a sense of tranquility amidst their travels. Egg masterfully captures the luxurious atmosphere of this Mediterranean adventure with his attention to detail and use of rich colors. The viewer can almost feel the warmth and hear the rhythmic sounds of train wheels rolling along tracks as they traverse through France and Italy. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Victorian society's fascination with exploration and leisurely pursuits. It provides us with a glimpse into the lives of wealthy individuals who had the means to indulge in such grand adventures. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, this print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece that encapsulates history, beauty, and sophistication all at once.
