1214416 Wreck of the Salween, South Shields Sands (pencil & w/c on paper) by Horton, George Edward (1859-1950); 63.0 x43.9 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: The Scandinavian ship Salween ran aground on the Herd Sands at South Shields in 1895, after being damaged on the South Pier rocks during a north-east gale. George Horton probably painted the picture on the beach itself, because the sky is spattered with water droplets, probably sea spray. Many of the colours have been applied while the surrounding paint was still wet, mimicking the watery environment of the beach. George Horton spent much of his career in the North East.); Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the haunting beauty of the "Wreck of the Salween, South Shields Sands" by George Edward Horton. The Scandinavian ship Salween met its tragic fate in 1895 when it ran aground on the Herd Sands at South Shields during a violent north-east gale. Horton's meticulous pencil and watercolor technique brings this maritime disaster to life. Standing before this artwork, one can almost feel the dampness in the air as sea spray mingles with raindrops. The artist likely painted this scene on-site, capturing every detail of the beach environment. Wet-on-wet application creates an ethereal quality, mirroring the watery surroundings. Horton was known for his dedication to depicting North East landscapes, and here he showcases his talent once again. The overcast sky adds a sense of foreboding to an already somber scene. The wrecked ship dominates the composition, its broken mast reaching towards a desolate coastline. This painting is not only a testament to Horton's skill but also serves as a reminder of England's rich maritime history. It speaks volumes about human vulnerability against nature's might and highlights our reliance on transportation for trade and travel. Displayed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne's Laing Art Gallery, this image transports viewers back in time while simultaneously evoking emotions that are timeless: awe, melancholy, and respect for those who have braved treacherous waters throughout history.
