Building the Bismarck, Hamburg, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph by Joseph Pennell that takes us back to a significant moment in history. The print showcases the bustling shipbuilding industry of early 20th century Germany, specifically in Hamburg. Against the backdrop of an industrial dockyard, cranes tower over the scene as workers laboriously construct one of Germany's most iconic warships - the Bismarck. The image exudes a sense of grandeur and scale as it captures both the magnitude of the ship and the sheer size of its construction site. In this snapshot from time, we witness not only a feat of engineering but also glimpse into an era when naval power was paramount. Pennell's masterful use of lithography brings out intricate details in every stroke, highlighting both architectural elements and human figures scattered throughout. These background people add depth to the composition while emphasizing the collaborative effort required for such an ambitious project. As we gaze upon this historical artwork displayed at National Gallery of Art Washington, we are transported to a different era where shipping industries thrived and warships ruled waterways. "Building the Bismarck" serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that shaped our world during times marked by progress and conflict alike.
