Sunlight Breaking Through, 1982<\/p>\n
Signed Limited-Edition Collotype Fine Art Print<\/p>\n
Sunlight Breaking Through is an atmospheric Australian landscape by renowned artist Kenneth Jack, depicting the historic township of Tilba in New South Wales beneath a dramatic mountain range.<\/p>\n
The composition captures the character of the settlement through its winding road, traditional buildings, changing elevation and mist-covered mountains. Jack\u2019s carefully balanced use of light, colour and architectural detail gives the scene a strong sense of depth and place.<\/p>\n
This is an authorised limited-edition collotype fine art print rather than an original watercolour or painting. Kenneth Jack personally signed and dated the work \u201c82\u201d in pencil on the lower margin. The original Franklin Gallery Certificate of Authenticity remains attached to the reverse.<\/p>\n
A collotype is a high-quality photographic printing process valued for its ability to reproduce subtle colour, tonal variation and fine detail. Signed Franklin Gallery collotypes allowed collectors to acquire carefully produced reproductions of selected Kenneth Jack paintings, authenticated by the artist\u2019s original pencil signature.<\/p>\n
