1882 Adelphi Arches Below Moore
EDITORS COMMENTS
Beneath the grandeur of London's Adelphi Arches, this drawing by James Moore transports us back in time to the late 19th century. Dated 1882, this intricately detailed work of art showcases the architectural beauty of the Adelphi Arches, a set of three stone bridges that once spanned the Thames River in London. The Adelphi Arches, built between 1864 and 1868, were designed by the renowned architect Charles Barry Jr. and served as a crucial connection between the Strand and the South Bank of the Thames. This drawing by James Moore, an Irish artist known for his mastery of ink and watercolour, captures the essence of the arches in all their splendour. The Thames River, calm and serene, reflects the arches and the surrounding buildings, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the visual appeal of the artwork. The intricate details of the arches, from the ornate carvings to the delicate stonework, are rendered with exceptional precision and artistry. Moore's use of ink and watercolour adds depth and texture to the drawing, bringing the scene to life. The muted colours of the buildings and the natural tones of the river create a harmonious balance, making this a truly stunning representation of London's architectural heritage. This drawing is a testament to the artistic talent of James Moore and the beauty of London's Adelphi Arches during a bygone era. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the past and the enduring allure of London's architectural wonders.
