EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Hythe Church and Martello Tower in the 19th century. Painted by the talented artist William Westall, this artwork showcases a picturesque view with two figures and cattle peacefully grazing in the foreground. The scene is set against the backdrop of the stunning British countryside, where lush green trees and vibrant plants create a harmonious blend with nature. Hythe Church stands tall as a symbol of Christianity, its spire reaching towards the heavens. The Martello Tower, a remarkable fortification built to defend against potential invaders from across the English Channel, adds an intriguing historical element to this composition. The color palette chosen by Westall brings life to every detail captured on paper using pen and pencil techniques. Shades of blue beautifully depict the calm sea that stretches out towards the horizon while also reflecting upon its shores. This watercolour masterpiece is housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, serving as a testament to Westall's artistic prowess. As you gaze upon this print, let your imagination transport you back in time to experience Kent's coastal charm during Britain's nineteenth-century era. Appreciate how art can encapsulate not only physical locations but also emotions evoked by such breathtaking landscapes.
