EDITORS COMMENTS
The Large Pool, 1879 (1904) by James Abbott McNeill Whistler is a captivating etching that beautifully captures the essence of the River Thames in London during the late 19th century. This print showcases Whistler's mastery of tonalism, as he skillfully manipulates light and shadow to create a serene atmosphere. In this artwork, we see a barge sailing gracefully on the river, its mast towering above the water. The rigging of the boat is meticulously detailed, adding depth and texture to the composition. The reflection of the vessel on the calm waters of The Large Pool adds an element of tranquility to this scene. Whistler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, making this etching a true work of art. His ability to capture both movement and stillness simultaneously creates a sense of harmony within this piece. The artist Mortimer L Menpes played an important role in preserving Whistler's legacy through his publication "Whistler As I Knew Him". Through their collaboration, they were able to bring Whistler's vision to life for future generations. This print serves as a testament not only to Whistler's artistic genius but also as a historical document showcasing transportation along one of London's most iconic rivers. It invites viewers into a world frozen in time - where sailboats glided peacefully across vast expanses of water.
