EDITORS COMMENTS
The Channel Crossing, Circa 1920 This evocative tempera painting captures the determination and resilience of the human spirit as it depicts a group of figures tightly fixing themselves to the seats and rails of a small boat, braving the turbulent waters of the English Channel. The painting, created circa 1920, is a testament to the courage and perseverance required to make the treacherous journey across the sea. The muted colors of the artwork reflect the raw and unforgiving nature of the sea, with the choppy waves threatening to engulf the boat at any moment. Yet, the figures in the painting remain focused, their expressions set with a steely determination as they hold on for dear life. This painting, which is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and challenges that people have faced throughout history in their quest for a better life or to reunite with loved ones. Although the exact context of this painting is unknown, it is believed to date back to around 1920, and it is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even the most difficult of circumstances. For those who are interested in art history, this painting can be found in the January 1921 issue of a popular magazine, Volume 13, where it was featured as an advertisement for Adrienne Mason, the artist. The painting's haunting beauty continues to captivate viewers, inspiring awe and admiration for the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity.
