Strand with Sky
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a poignant black and white print created in 1916 by renowned artist Francis Dodd. This striking piece captures the bustling Strand in London on a stormy day, as horse-drawn carriages navigate through the rain-soaked streets amidst scaffolding and construction activity.
The iconic St Mary Le Strand church stands tall against the darkening sky, its imposing facade illuminated only by flashes of lightning. The atmosphere is charged with drama and tension, reflecting the uncertainty and turmoil that characterized Europe during World War I.
Dodd's masterful use of drypoint engraving brings to life the vibrant street scene, where people from all walks of life hurry about their daily business amidst the chaos. A lone figure pushes a hand cart through the rain-soaked streets, while others huddle beneath umbrellas or seek shelter under awnings.
This powerful print not only showcases Dodd's technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence and spirit of urban life during a tumultuous period in history. "Strand with Sky" is an evocative representation of London's resilience and determination, as well as its enduring beauty amidst adversity.
