EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bustling river scene filled with an array of vessels, beautifully captured by the talented artist Bernard Benedict Hemy. Created using pencil, watercolour, and bodycolour on paper, this artwork measures 74.8x51.4 cm and is currently housed in the South Shields Museum & Art Gallery in the UK. The focal point of this scene is the three-masted Wellesley ship situated on the left side. This vessel was docked at North Shields and served as a training ground for young sailors. In the foreground, two coal keels (barges) rest along the shore while a keelboat can be seen behind them. Bernard Hemy, who resided in North Shields for many years, was renowned for his depictions of the River Tyne and its surrounding coastline. His attention to detail and ability to capture vibrant maritime scenes are evident in this remarkable piece. As we admire this artwork from eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the lively activity that once animated these waters. The combination of pencil sketches with delicate watercolours creates a harmonious blend that brings life to each vessel depicted. This print serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation of maritime life during Hemy's era—an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection or those fascinated by nautical history alike.
