A beautiful vintage Glyndebourne art print from 1992, signed in the plate by Sir Hugh Casson (1910-1999). This finely produced watercolour-style print captures the charm of Glyndebourne, the famous English country house opera venue in East Sussex, showing figures relaxing by the lake with the manor house in the distance. The work has a light, lively feel, typical of Casson’s architectural illustrations.
The artwork is presented in its original late 20th century framing, with a gilt frame, dark green mount and protective glazing. The colour tones remain bright and fresh, with the scene full of movement and atmosphere, perfectly evoking the timeless tradition of Glyndebourne opera picnics and gardens.
Sir Hugh Casson was a prominent British architect, interior designer and illustrator. He was well known for his lively watercolours, sketches and illustrations often depicting English life, architecture and cultural venues - hence this wonderful scene at Glyndebourne Opera House.
The painting is dated 1992 on the lower right margin and is likely to have been bought and hung not long after. It comes ready to hang. It would be a wonderful acquisition for collectors of Glyndebourne memorabilia, admirers of British art, or those seeking an elegant vintage print with strong Sussex connections.
Condition is very good overall with only light age-related toning to the mount and some gentle wear to the frame consistent with age, adding to the vintage authenticity of the piece.
Size : frame approx 47cm x 39cm, aperture of print approx 34.5cm x 26.5cm
