EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Charles Meryon transports us back to the mid-19th century, capturing a moment in time when Seine fishing was a common practice off Charcoal Burners Point in Akaroa, located on New Zealand's Banks Peninsula. Meryon's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts the scene with intricate lines and shading. The composition showcases a group of fishermen diligently working together to haul in their catch using a seine net. The tranquil waters of Akaroa harbor reflect the soft light of dawn or dusk, creating an atmosphere of serenity and calmness. The rugged cliffs surrounding Charcoal Burners Point provide a dramatic backdrop for this everyday activity turned into art. Meryon's French background is apparent in his meticulous execution and use of light and shadow. His mastery of etching techniques brings depth and texture to the print, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail - from the delicate ripples on the water's surface to the expressions on each fisherman's face. This artwork not only serves as a visual record but also offers insight into historical fishing practices during that era. It reminds us of our connection with nature and how communities relied on these traditional methods for sustenance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand the dedication and hard work required for Seine fishing off Charcoal Burners Point in Akaroa.
