EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. Ives, 1889" an exquisite oil on canvas painting by Charles Sim Mottram. Measuring 39.4x120 cm, this artwork is held in a private collection and beautifully captures the essence of St. Ives in Cornwall during the late 19th century. Mottram, originally from London, was one of many Victorian artists who found themselves irresistibly drawn to Cornwall's cool light and natural beauty. Inspired by this idyllic coastal town, he began painting Cornish scenes in the late 1880s. In this particular piece, we are transported to a tranquil bay where sailboats leisurely circle under the opalescent sunlight. Beyond the slate roofs that dominate the foreground lies a picturesque seascape that embodies serenity and charm. The composition skillfully combines elements of maritime life with breathtaking views of St. Ives' coastline. The fishing boats dotting the scene add authenticity to this quintessentially English setting. Through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Mottram successfully captures both the peacefulness and vibrancy of St. Ives at that time. This print allows us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also serves as a window into a bygone era when coastal towns like St. Ives were thriving hubs of maritime activity.
