Departure of the Icelandic fishermen, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment frozen in time. This vibrant print by Frederic Lix, originally featured in Le Petit Journal on March 19th, 1894, transports us to a bustling quayside in Iceland during the late 19th century. The scene is filled with emotions as families bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on a treacherous fishing expedition. Women clutch their husbands tightly, their faces etched with worry and concern for what lies ahead. The men stand tall and resolute, ready to face the unpredictable waters that will provide for their families back home. Lix's use of color brings life to this historical snapshot - from the vivid blues of the harbor waters to the warm hues adorning traditional Icelandic garments. The boats bob gently on the water's surface, awaiting departure as seagulls soar overhead. This artwork not only depicts an everyday occurrence but also offers insight into a way of life deeply intertwined with nature and survival. It speaks volumes about the strength and resilience of these hardworking people who relied on fishing for sustenance and livelihood. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how art can transport us across time and space. "Departure of the Icelandic fishermen" evokes both admiration for those who braved uncertain seas and empathy for those left behind on land – forever captured within its brushstrokes or inked lines.
