EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fisherman's Daughter" is a captivating engraving by Hungarian artist Istvan Balecz, based on the original oil painting by English artist Charles Napier Hemy. Created in 1884, this exquisite work of art transports us to a serene moment in time, filled with the simple joys of rural life. In the image, a young girl in a red dress, with a cherubic face and long, dark hair, stands in a sunlit courtyard. She gazes out at a small fishing boat moored in the foreground, its sails furled and oars neatly stowed. A fisherman, clad in a blue jacket and white trousers, is shown in the boat, casting a line into the calm waters. The reflection of the scene on the water's surface adds depth and dimension to the composition. Charles Napier Hemy, a renowned painter of marine and figurative subjects, expertly captured the essence of a peaceful day by the sea. Balecz Istvan, the skilled engraver, brought Napier Hemy's vision to life through intricate lines and delicate shading, resulting in a stunningly detailed and textured print. The enchanting scene invites us to ponder the connection between the girl and the fisherman, as well as the relationship between land and sea. The Fisherman's Daughter offers a glimpse into a simpler way of life, where the beauty of nature and the bonds of family are cherished. This timeless work of art continues to captivate viewers with its evocative imagery and emotional depth.
