EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Watercolour Masterpiece by James Moore (1819-1883) This exquisite watercolour painting, titled "New Embankment, Hungerford, Thames, London (Morning)", is an enchanting representation of the River Thames in London, captured by the skilled hand of Irish artist James Moore in 1865. The scene depicts the serene and picturesque New Embankment at Hungerford, with the sun rising over the tranquil Thames, casting a warm, golden glow on the water's surface. The painting is a testament to Moore's exceptional talent as a watercolourist. The intricate details of the buildings along the embankment, the delicate reflections on the water, and the subtle nuances of light and shadow all contribute to a captivating and immersive image. The artist's ability to convey the peaceful atmosphere of a London morning by the Thames is truly remarkable. The New Embankment, located on the south side of the River Thames, was a significant engineering feat of the time. Constructed between 1862 and 1870, it was designed to prevent the frequent flooding of the area and to provide a more pleasant walking and promenading experience for Londoners. The embankment's completion marked a new era in the city's relationship with the Thames, transforming it from a source of danger and inconvenience to a cherished amenity. This watercolour drawing on paper, with its rich colours and meticulous detail, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Londoners could enjoy the simple pleasures of a morning stroll along the Thames, as depicted in this beautiful work by James Moore.
