EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: The Calvary of Concarneau, Finistere, France (1920) - A Striking Drypoint Etching of a Majestic Standing Crucifix This evocative drypoint etching, created in 1920, captures the awe-inspiring presence of the Calvary in Concarneau, a small coastal town nestled in the Finistere region of France. The large, standing crucifix, with its intricately detailed figure, looms over the tranquil bay, its shadow stretching long and dark against the water. The play of light and shadow, skillfully rendered by the artist's hand, adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the Calvary to life. The Calvary of Concarneau is a beloved landmark and a significant religious site for the local community. The crucifix, which stands atop a hill overlooking the town and the sea, has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and pilgrims for generations. This etching, with its rich, bold lines and vibrant colors, is a testament to the enduring power of this iconic symbol of faith and devotion. This print, from the esteemed March of the Women Collection, was first published in Volume 16, April 1922, of a popular magazine. The artist, Martin Hardie, was a renowned Scottish etcher and painter, known for his mastery of the drypoint technique. His work, which often featured religious and mythological themes, was widely admired for its expressive, emotive quality. This etching of the Calvary of Concarneau is a prime example of Hardie's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with remarkable depth and sensitivity.
