EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling seascape at the Mouth of the Tyne. Painted by Bernard Benedict Hemy, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases his deep connection to his home area of Shields. The focal point of the image is a group of diligent fishermen scrubbing the hull of their boat, meticulously removing barnacles that could hinder its sailing capabilities. Intriguingly, looming behind them is the striking black-and-white hull of the training ship Wellesley. This vessel was acquired from the navy by local benefactors and transformed into a sailing school for boys in North Shields. Its presence adds an element of historical significance to this already picturesque scene. The artist's attention to detail and mastery in capturing light and shadow are evident throughout this artwork. The play between sunlight dancing on gentle waves and casting reflections upon both boats creates a mesmerizing visual experience for viewers. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this painting invites us to immerse ourselves in its rich maritime history while appreciating Hemy's artistic talent. It serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like cleaning a boat can be elevated into moments worth preserving through artistry and storytelling.
