St. Mary's Island - A Glimpse into the Tranquil Fishing Village of the Late 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to St. Mary's Island, a picturesque fishing village on the northeastern coast of England. Painted by Bernard Benedict Hemy between 1885 and 1895, this oil on canvas masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of life in this idyllic coastal community. The scene depicts a serene seascape with quaint houses nestled along the shore, their vibrant colors reflecting off the calm waters. A small boat bobs gently near the coastline as fishermen go about their daily routines, casting nets and preparing for their next catch. The imposing Bates Hill stands tall in the background, adding depth and drama to this English landscape. At low tide, a causeway emerges from beneath the water's surface, connecting St. Mary's Island to Hartley Bates – an island that offers abundant fishing opportunities for its residents. This natural phenomenon becomes a focal point within Hemy's painting, symbolizing both unity and isolation. With meticulous brushstrokes and an impeccable eye for detail, Hemy masterfully brings this moment in history to life on his canvas. Through his artistry, we are transported to a simpler time when life revolved around nature's rhythms and close-knit communities thrived along these rugged shores. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from South Shields Museum & Art Gallery’s collection at Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
