EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Blakeney, Norfolk: A Quiet Moment in Time" This stunning oil painting captures the picturesque coastal village of Blakeney, located in the English county of Norfolk, circa 1920. The serene scene is dominated by the tranquil waters of the harbor, dotted with large vessels that have found refuge from the North Sea. The intricate details of the boats, from their rigging to their weathered hulls, are masterfully rendered, adding depth and texture to the composition. The platform at the heart of the painting is a hive of activity, with figures waiting patiently for the tide to recede and reveal the hidden pathway to the village. Their silhouettes, framed against the vibrant colors of the setting sun, add a sense of timelessness to the image. The muted tones of the painting, from the soft greens of the marshlands to the rich browns of the boats, create a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports the viewer to a simpler, more idyllic era. This painting, part of the prestigious March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is attributed to the artist Hilda Clements Hassall. The collection, which spans over 100 years of women's history, is a testament to the power of art to capture and preserve the essence of a moment in time. This particular painting, with its evocative depiction of Blakeney's coastal charm, is a must-have for any art lover or history enthusiast. Volume 12, February, of the magazine where this painting was first published is a fascinating read for those interested in the history of Blakeney and the surrounding area. The painting serves as a visual complement to the written accounts, offering a unique perspective on life in this beautiful corner of England over a century ago.
