EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mrs Leathart and Her Three Children" captures a tender moment frozen in time. Painted by the talented artist Arthur Hughes between 1863-65, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the young family of James Leathart, an esteemed industrialist and art collector from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Hughes skillfully employed a Pre-Raphaelite technique to create this stunning portrait. By painting bright and pure colors over a white under-layer, he intensified the vibrancy of each hue. The influence of Italian Renaissance pictures is evident in the balcony format chosen for this piece. In this enchanting scene, Mrs. Leathart is portrayed wearing a Renaissance-style dress that adds an air of elegance to her presence. She lovingly feeds birds with her three children by her side, creating an atmosphere filled with warmth and harmony. The delicate interaction between mother and children is beautifully captured here - their expressions radiating joy as they engage with nature's creatures. This image serves as a testament to the timeless bond shared within families across generations. Displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this artwork stands as a testament to Hughes' talent and his ability to capture intimate moments through his brushstrokes. It invites viewers into the world of Mrs. Leathart's family during that period while also showcasing Hughes' mastery as one of the younger generation Pre-Raphaelite artists.
