EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back in time to the bustling port of Calais. Painted by David Cox, a renowned English artist, this artwork showcases his mastery of watercolor, pen and ink, bodycolor, and pencil on paper. The scene depicted in the print captures the essence of maritime activity in the early 19th century. The English Channel serves as a backdrop for an array of ships and boats navigating their way into Calais Harbour. The meticulous attention to detail brings life to each vessel - from majestic sailing boats with billowing white sails to sturdy merchant ships laden with cargo. Cox's skillful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the composition. The coastal landscape is bathed in warm hues, reflecting the soft light that illuminates both land and sea. This juxtaposition creates a sense of tranquility amidst the dynamic movement of ships entering or leaving the harbor. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported not only geographically but also emotionally. We can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces and hear seagulls calling overhead. It is through artworks like "Entrance to Calais Harbour" that we can appreciate both the artistic talent behind them and gain insights into past eras. This remarkable piece now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts who marvel at its beauty and historical significance.
