EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Anders Svarstad that captures the essence of London's bustling capital city in the early 20th century. The artist skillfully portrays a scene along the river, where smoke stacks and chimneys from nearby factories spew out thick plumes of pollution into the grey sky. The canvas showcases an industrial landscape filled with boats, barges, and cranes that are essential to urban shipping and trade. A tugboat can be seen navigating through the polluted waters, symbolizing the constant movement and transport taking place on this vital waterway. Svarstad's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of docklands lined with warehouses and wharves bustling with activity. The smoggy atmosphere adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to this snapshot in time. This painting serves as a reminder of London's industrial past, highlighting both its economic prosperity and environmental challenges during this era. It invites viewers to reflect on how industry shaped cities like London while also raising awareness about pollution caused by rapid urbanization. Displayed at Bergen Art Museum in Norway, "By the Thames, 1911-12" stands as a testament to Svarstad's artistic talent and his ability to capture historical moments through paintbrush strokes. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate audiences today as it offers glimpses into an important chapter in our shared history.
