EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned artist Sir Edwin Landseer, R. A. in a serene moment as he indulges in his favorite pastime of salmon fishing. Accompanied by a ghillie, possibly on the picturesque river Dart near Holne, Devon, Landseer immerses himself in the tranquil beauty of nature. The composition showcases Landseer's love for both art and angling. With pencil and watercolor techniques enhanced by gum arabic and bodycolor, John Frederick Lewis skillfully brings this scene to life on paper. The delicate scratching out adds depth and texture to the artwork. Landseer's passion for fishing is evident as he stands gracefully with his rod in hand, patiently waiting for a catch. His loyal canine companion faithfully accompanies him on this peaceful excursion into the countryside. The landscape surrounding them exudes an air of tranquility typical of rural England during the 19th century. The rolling hills and meandering river create a harmonious backdrop that complements Landseer's contemplative mood. This remarkable piece not only celebrates Landseer's artistic talent but also immortalizes his personal connection to nature through angling. It serves as a testament to his appreciation for both capturing beauty on canvas and experiencing it firsthand in the great outdoors. Displayed proudly within a private collection, this print invites viewers to step into Landseer's world—a world where artistry intertwines seamlessly with leisurely pursuits amidst breathtaking landscapes.
