The Barbican is a 1920 by Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a tall, narrow building with a clock tower and arched doorway. The walls are made of detailed brickwork, and a bridge leads into a shadowy tunnel. In front, there’s a small river with a few boats and a patch of grass on the bank. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to make the building look solid and mysterious. The tunnel’s darkness contrasts with the bright light outside, creating a strong sense of space. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this one.
Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs was an English etcher, architectural draughtsman, illustrator, and early conservationist, associated with the late flowering of the Arts and Crafts movement in the Cotswolds, centred in Chipping Campden.
