EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Swansea in 1820, as seen from the West Pier. Painted by George Orleans Delamotte, this oil on panel artwork measures 20.5x28.3 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum Wales, part of the National Museums & Galleries of Wales collection. The scene depicted showcases a bustling coastal town with its picturesque bay and harbor filled with boats of all sizes. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of fishermen going about their daily routines, adding a touch of authenticity to the painting. The composition beautifully captures the essence of maritime life during that era, highlighting not only the means of transport but also the importance of trade and commerce for Swansea as a Welsh port city situated along the Bristol Channel. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, our eyes are drawn towards the wall that separates land from sea - an enduring symbol representing both protection and connection between two worlds. The coastline stretches out into infinity, inviting us to imagine what lies beyond. With its vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes, this painting transports us back in time while reminding us of Swansea's rich history as a thriving coastal community. It serves as a testament to Delamotte's artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments frozen in time through his masterful use of oils on panel.
