Stonehenge at Daybreak is a 1897 by Frank Short, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene at dawn. A flock of sheep grazes in the foreground, while a man leads a horse-drawn cart along a dirt path. In the distance, a group of people stands near a cluster of large standing stones. The sky is dramatic, with thick, swirling clouds and a faint glow on the horizon. The stones in the background look like an ancient monument. The artist used soft shading to make the scene feel atmospheric, almost like a dream. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
