EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling city of Newcastle upon Tyne from Gateshead in 1895. Painted by Niels Moller Lund, this oil on canvas artwork showcases a detailed and sunny view of the cityscape. The vantage point is high above St. Mary's Church on the Gateshead bank, providing a panoramic perspective. In this vibrant scene, steam trains can be seen passing over the top deck of the iconic High Level Bridge while traffic moves along the lower road deck. The newly constructed Swing Bridge is swivelled to allow a ship to pass through, adding an element of dynamic movement to the composition. Niels Lund was renowned for his skill in capturing landscapes and cityscapes during this time period. His attention to detail and ability to depict light and shadow are evident in this masterpiece. The painting beautifully portrays the banks of River Tyne with boats dotting its waters, including a tugboat navigating through. The church towers add architectural charm to the skyline, creating a harmonious blend between nature and urban development. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian England's transportation system and its ever-evolving cityscape. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Newcastle's rich heritage.
