The Past Beneath

Limited Edition Giclée Print

Edition of 100


Exhibited at the 2025 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition

This signed, limited edition print is taken from Rebecca Ritchie’s acclaimed painting The Past Beneath, selected for the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2025.

 

There’s something unsettling yet nostalgic about peeling back a layer and finding a piece of the past waiting beneath. The Past Beneath is about that moment of discovery,the jolt of something once familiar, whether warm or haunting, resurfacing unexpectedly. A forgotten childhood scene emerges from behind fresh wallpaper, disrupting the present with echoes of what came before. It’s a reminder that the past never truly disappears; it lingers, waiting to be found.


Each edition is produced on museum-grade fine art paper using archival inks to ensure exceptional colour accuracy and longevity. The print is individually produced to order, hand-signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.


Framing

For collectors who prefer their edition ready to hang, each print is available in a handmade box frame, crafted to gallery standards. The bespoke frame elevates the presentation and complements the artwork, making it a centrepiece in any interior. Frames are available in black or white.

The first time I saw this painting

The first time I saw this painting, I knew I needed to buy it. I have loved Rupert since I was a child and still have a few 'annuals' in my bookcase. I also found the perfect spot for the framed print next to our front door. It's a real talking point.

So clever

My son is called Rupert and I have bought the print as a birthday present for him. I think Rebecca is a brilliant artist and she is also a really lovely lady who is very humble.
