473970 Off Fowey; Wind Westerly (w/c on paper)
by Hemy, Charles Napier (1841-1917); 66.0x45.7 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: This seascape was painted while Charles Hemy was living at Falmouth, probably on board the boat which he had converted into a floating studio. As with many of his works, he has placed the horizon high up on the paper. This meant there was a much greater area of the picture which featured the sea, the part which really captured his interest. On the far right a ship is almost being submerged by the waves, demonstrating their power.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating seascape captured in "Off Fowey; Wind Westerly" by Charles Napier Hemy is a stunning print that transports viewers to the powerful and ever-changing world of the sea. Painted while Hemy was living at Falmouth, this masterpiece showcases his deep fascination with the ocean. Placing the horizon high up on the paper, Hemy allows for a vast expanse of sea to dominate the composition. The waves crash forcefully against each other, creating a sense of movement and energy that is palpable. In the distance, a ship battles against these mighty forces, almost being submerged by their power. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle against nature's elements. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable - from the delicate brushstrokes depicting seagulls soaring above to the intricate rendering of sails billowing in the wind. Each element adds depth and realism to this breathtaking scene. This print not only captures an awe-inspiring moment in time but also reflects Hemy's skillful technique and profound connection with maritime subjects. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, it continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless beauty. "Off Fowey; Wind Westerly" invites us into an immersive experience where we can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces and hear the crashing waves around us. It serves as a testament to both nature's raw power and human resilience in facing its challenges head-on.
