The Mayor's Barge on the Tyne, 1828
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by John Wilson Carmichael that captures a momentous event in Newcastle-upon-Tyne's history. The artwork, displayed at the Laing Art Gallery, depicts the preparations for an Ascension Day parade in May. In this scene, we witness the grandeur of Newcastles' boundaries being marked as the Mayor's barge takes center stage on the far left of the river. A large group of ships follows closely behind, creating a magnificent spectacle against the backdrop of the old Tyne Bridge. Carmichael skillfully portrays every detail with his masterful brushstrokes. The sails billow gracefully in the wind while tugboats navigate alongside to ensure smooth passage along the river. The English landscape surrounding them adds depth and beauty to this historic moment frozen in time. The painting not only showcases Carmichael's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into Newcastle-upon-Tyne's rich maritime heritage. It serves as a reminder of how important waterways were for transportation and trade during this period. As we gaze upon "The Mayor's Barge on Tyne" we are transported back to 1828 and can almost hear cheers from spectators lining up along its banks. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined seamlessly on canvas – truly a treasure preserved by eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums for generations to come.
