Nestled in a forgotten valley on the outskirts of the Kingdom lies an extraordinary apple tree of unparalleled significance. Its ethereal fruits, weightless and wondrous, are reserved exclusively for the esteemed ‘Harvest For the King’, a ceremony steeped in tradition and splendour.
Yet, gathering these celestial apples proves to be a challenge, for even the gentlest breeze threatens to whisk away the precious bounty. Fortunately, aid arrives in the form of a Royal Magpie, ever vigilant in its duty to assist in the harvest. With deft skill, the magpie delicately secures the elusive apples, mindful of their tendency to float away at the slightest touch.
Adding to the mystique of this enchanted realm is the curious anomaly of seasonality: while the valley and its tree are cloaked in the golden hues of autumn, the apples gleam with the freshness of spring, defying the conventional rhythms of nature. Such anomalies serve as a testament to the whimsical nature of this magical world, where the laws of gravity and time hold little sway.
The painting’s depth-of-field effect, particularly evident in the illusion of three-dimensionality achieved with the floating apples, lends a captivating sense of realism and immersion to the scene. Each meticulously rendered detail, from the intricacies of the King’s Stag’s saddle to the mossy tree roots inspired by real-life wonders on the Isle of Mull, contributes to the rich tapestry of imagery that transports viewers to a realm where magic and reality intertwine seamlessly.
Our Fine-Art Prints use archival papers in two weights. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Signature Editions’, we use 210gsm Fotospeed Smooth; a versatile paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. For the larger ‘Premium Editions’, we use Fotospeed’s 315gsm NST. Thanks to subtle textures similar to traditional etching papers, coupled to bright-white bases, both of these 100%-cotton, fine-art papers deliver revelatory, impactful images that will stand the test of time. Furthermore, we only ever use OEM inks that are rich in pigments & offer a consistent level of reproduction.
