Commodore Trunnion and Jack Hatchway, c. 1839 - A Captivating Tale of Rivalry and Resilience
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil on canvas print by Francis William Edmonds, we are transported to a scene from Tobias Smollet's renowned novel, The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle. The painting depicts Commodore Trunnion and his loyal companion Jack Hatchway engrossed in the news of their rival Admiral Bower's recent elevation to the peerage. The composition showcases the interior setting where these two intriguing characters stand amidst an array of newspapers strewn across a table. Trunnion, portrayed as a distinguished officer with his peg leg firmly planted on the ground, gazes intently at the printed words that have stirred up emotions within him. Meanwhile, Hatchway sits beside him, leaning forward with curiosity etched upon his face. Edmonds masterfully captures not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of these literary figures. Through their postures and expressions, we sense their camaraderie and shared experiences as they navigate through life's challenges together. This painting serves as a testament to resilience in adversity; both men bear visible disabilities yet remain undeterred in pursuing their passions. It is a celebration of friendship forged through trials and tribulations. Now housed in Dallas Museum of Art thanks to generous donations from Maxus Energy and Nina B. Super, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its vivid portrayal of characters brought to life from the pages
