Description
A traditional cobbled city street with window shutters, lamps and al fresco dining by artist Richard Macneil, framed and mounted. Richard Macneil is a self-taught artist who has worked in the fields of sculpture, ceramics and graphics both in the UK and internationally. He founded the Macneil Studio in 2009 with his wife and sons. He spent a long time working in the USA and one of his greatest achievements was seeing his artwork in the Oval Office in The White House. Returning to Worcestershire, England, where he was born and bred, Richard has worked on developing his unique style with a vision to create 'art that appeals to and is accessible to all'.
Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it brings a splash of urban elegance and a sense of place, making it a versatile piece for a variety of interiors. Its neutral tones and scaled subject matter work particularly well in modern, minimalist spaces as a statement piece or in mixed urban chic schemes. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with understated furniture to let the artwork stand out, or add contemporary metallic accents to add a touch of sophistication. It’s ideal for living rooms, hallways, or even a bedroom to introduce an element of city-life without overwhelming the space. The framed presentation also makes it easy to hang and integrate into an existing gallery wall or as a standalone feature.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
