2956870 Harlech Beach, 1869 (oil on canvas) by Moore, Henry (1831-95); 42.55x66.68 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: An early and brisk seascape from Moore, who spent the summer of 1868 in Harlech, near Snowdonia in Wales. This painting, which may have been exhibited as Bright Weather after a Gale in the 1869 RA exhibition, is drenched in sunlight, with an open stretch of blue sea out to the hills behind Criccieth and Pwellhi beyond. It is uncharacteristically bright and impressionistic for this period of his life.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Harlech Beach, 1869" an oil on canvas painting by Henry Moore. The artwork measures 42.55x66.68 cm and is held in a private collection. Painted during Moore's summer stay in Harlech, near Snowdonia in Wales, this early seascape exudes energy and vitality. The painting, possibly exhibited as "Bright Weather after a Gale" at the Royal Academy exhibition of 1869, basks in sunlight with a vast expanse of blue sea stretching towards the hills behind Criccieth and Pwellhi. Uncharacteristically bright and impressionistic for this period of his life, Moore's seascapes from this time share similarities: dominant greys and greens alongside meticulously drawn waves executed with academic precision. This particular piece captures the essence of Victorian coastal beauty with its picturesque scenery. The print offers a glimpse into the distant past as it portrays figures - perhaps fishwives - dotting the shoreline against a backdrop of low tide dunes and majestic mountains. It transports viewers to an idyllic moment on Harlech Beach where sunny skies meet sandy shores. With its maritime charm and Welsh allure, this painting encapsulates the timeless appeal of Britain's coastline while showcasing Moore's artistic prowess. As you admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images at The Ms Gallery in London, let yourself be transported to a serene world where nature meets artistry seamlessly along Harlech Beach.
