The First of May
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by British artist Edwin Thomas Roberts. Measuring 60.9x50.7 cm, this artwork depicts a scene that exudes both tranquility and contemplation. In the foreground, we see an elderly gentleman with a long white beard, his arm resting on what appears to be a stone wall. Dressed in traditional attire and accessories of the 19th century, he emanates wisdom and experience. Standing beside him is a younger man, possibly his apprentice or protégé, dressed in similar fashion but lacking the same weathered appearance. The painting's title suggests that it represents the arrival of springtime on the first day of May - a time associated with rebirth and new beginnings. The artist skillfully captures this theme through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors that bring life to every detail. As we gaze at "The First of May" we are transported back in time to witness this intimate moment between two individuals from different generations. It invites us to reflect upon the passing of time and the exchange of knowledge between older and younger minds. This print beautifully preserves Roberts' artistic vision for all to appreciate. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its safekeeping while allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to admire its beauty firsthand.
