When Johnny Comes Home Again
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and moody illustration by the renowned English artist, Frederick Cayley Robinson, created in 1923. The atmospheric scene depicts the long-awaited return of a ship to the coast during twilight hours. The solitary woman on the beach, holding a lantern aloft, adds an air of anticipation and warmth to the otherwise dark and mysterious night scene. The image captures the essence of the ocean's vastness and the uncertainty that comes with the long voyage at sea. The ships, with their tall masts and billowing sails, cut through the dark waters as they make their way towards the shore. The lantern's gentle glow illuminates the beach, creating a stark contrast to the inky blackness of the sea. The title "When Johnny Comes Home Again" adds a sense of nostalgia and longing to the scene. It suggests the joy and relief that comes with the safe return of a loved one from a long and perilous journey. The image evokes a sense of hope and renewal, as the ships approach the shore, bringing with them the promise of a new beginning. Frederick Cayley Robinson's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his intricate attention to detail, makes "When Johnny Comes Home Again" a timeless and evocative work of art. The illustration is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and the enduring bond between the sea, the shore, and those who call it home. Whether you're a maritime enthusiast, a lover of art, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this image is sure to leave a lasting impression.
