EDITORS COMMENTS
Boulogne Pier, 1870" captures the essence of a bustling and vibrant coastal scene during the Victorian era. Painted by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 118x251 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image showcases Boulogne-sur-Mer, a beloved holiday destination for British tourists in the 1870s. The pier itself serves as a focal point, extending into the sea with its wooden planks inviting visitors to stroll along its length. A diverse crowd can be seen enjoying their time at this fashionable resort - soldiers in uniform mingle with elegantly dressed women while couples engage in courtship rituals. The painting perfectly encapsulates the social atmosphere of the time; it is teeming with life and activity. The coastline stretches out behind them, offering breathtaking views of the sea. Children playfully roam around, adding an element of innocence to this lively scene. Morgan's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of fashion trends prevalent during that period. From elaborate hats to flowing dresses, every figure exudes elegance and style. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Morgan's skillful portrayal of this coastal paradise from over a century ago. It invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this picturesque setting - taking leisurely walks along the promenade or simply basking in the sun on one of Boulogne Pier's benches. Whether you are an art enthusiast or someone longing for nostalgic seaside memories,
