Victoria College in Spring, Toronto is a fine example of Nicholas Hornyansky's work, an artist renowned for his aquatint technique which lends a unique texture and depth to his prints. This piece, measuring 7.5 x 6.25 inches, is meticulously crafted on paper and is signed by the artist in the bottom right corner, signifying its authenticity.


The artwork features Victoria College, a prominent architectural landmark in Toronto, captured in the refreshing ambiance of spring. Hornyansky's use of aquatint allows for a rich interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the intricate details of the Gothic architecture. The college is portrayed with its distinctive pointed arches and detailed stonework, showcasing its historical grandeur.


The foreground of the scene is animated with bare trees and a clear path leading to the college, suggesting the renewal and vibrancy of spring. The background features a soft, pastel sky that contrasts subtly with the detailed masonry of the buildings, giving the print a serene and inviting atmosphere.


Preserved under museum glass, this aquatint print remains in excellent condition, ensuring that the delicate gradations of tone and color are maintained. Victoria College in Spring, Toronto is not only a representation of a historic Toronto site but also a testament to Hornyansky's mastery of the aquatint process, making it a valuable addition to any collection of fine prints.
