EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that showcases the serene beauty of the River Somme in post-World War I France. Painted circa 1919, this large-scale landscape masterpiece by Alexander Jamieson (not to be confused with the Jamieson company) invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the scene. The painting depicts a vast expanse of the river, its glassy surface reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. The reflection of the rolling hills, lush trees, and picturesque village in the distance is so accurate that it is difficult to discern where the water ends and the land begins. At the edge of the river, a large flock of sheep can be seen, some of which are gathered around the water's edge, quenching their thirst. The sheep's white forms contrast sharply with the rich greens and browns of the landscape, adding depth and texture to the painting. Three boats are stationed next to each other, their sails furled and oars stowed, adding a sense of stillness to the scene. The boats, along with the sheep, serve as reminders of the human presence in this idyllic setting. The painting, which appeared in Volume 11, December issue of a popular magazine, is a testament to Jamieson's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The muted colors and intricate details of the painting transport the viewer to a place of peace and reflection, making it a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
