Invisible Lines, Immortal Beams, by Edinburgh-based artist Barry McGlashan (b. 1974, Aberdeen), documents the past two years of his practice, including the celebrated solo exhibition of the same name at Frestonian Gallery from the spring of 2025. Thresholds, metaphorical and literal, are an omnipresent motif in Barry McGlashan’s evocative paintings. The featured works bring viewers to the edge of lakes, to rivers and roads, and lead to the foot of mountains. Other times the viewer is inside, looking out through windows to the landscape and sky beyond. Transcending time and geography, reality and folklore, McGlashan’s dream-like and otherworldly paintings are as haunting as they are enchanting.
This publication also features works presented by the artist and gallery at Art SG in Singapore in early 2025, as well as documentation of The Distant Ideal, McGlashan’s first presentation at Frestonian in March 2024.

This is a comprehensive essential tool to understanding and appreciating the Dome of Florence in its entirety. It is published as the result of several months of photographing all the famous structures – the interior of the Cathedral, Brunelleschi’s dome, the Baptistery – in ultra-high gigapixel photographic capture, including the frescoes inside the dome that no one but conservators have seen in centuries. More than an architectural icon for the millions of visitors to Florence every year, Santa Maria del Fiore represents the moment Europe discovered its new identity—one that valorized human ingenuity, revived classical ideals, and re-imagined the relationship between beauty, mathematics, and the divine. This publication captures that pivotal transition with unprecedented fidelity. Brunelleschi’s dome and its frescoes, the Baptistery, and the inner cathedral are showcased in fine detail.
